So, rush them to the nearest doctor or hospital immediately for a check-up.

If your breathing gets heavy and the breath falls short even after a short walk, climb or other form of movement or exercise, Even if this condition is not accompanied with chest discomfort, it should be taken as a warning sign.
3. Sweating
Whilst sweating is inevitable in the scorching(灼热的) heat of May and June, excessive sweating even in cool conditions is uncalled for.
4. Nausea(恶心)
