In gynecological diseases, there are not a few related to emotions. Most of them are caused by unpleasant feelings such as sorrow and discomfort. Girls are often emotionally delicate and easily get upset when encountering unpleasant things, leading to emotional distress, which frequently makes them feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Women with chest tightness often experience spontaneous chest fullness and breathing difficulties, especially every morning after waking up. In fact, chest tightness is not a single disease symptom but rather the result of multiple causes. Chest tightness and shortness of breath are greatly associated with the secretion levels of sex hormones. Young women have abundant estrogen secretion, thickened subcutaneous fat, and fat tissue consumes more oxygen than muscle tissue, so young women may experience insufficient oxygen supply, leading to chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Girls are often emotionally sensitive and tend to get upset easily when faced with unpleasant situations, leading to emotional distress and frequently feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath.
