See cardiologist: You should see a cardiologist, to evaluate your heart function and structure. It's unusual to have these symptoms at such a young age. A lung doctor (pulmonologist) can help diagnose emphysema. Call 911 if chest pain, passing out, weakness, dizziness, partial paralysis, or short of breath. Take care.
