Getting A Pounding Heart Rate, Have Asthma, Periods Irregular. What This Might Be?

Hi I have been to a doctor numerous times and had blood tests. They said there is nothing seriously wrong. For a while now I have been getting a pounding heartrate that just appears out of the blue. I do have asthma but ive had that for ages I know what that feels like. When I walk or get up my heart goes mad and I feel breathless . 5 weeks ago I ended up in a and e because I completely whited out. And even after that I was still collapsing, my heart was going fast, I was feeling dizzy and my legs were weak. They gave me antibiotics which helped a little. I expected to feel weak after that until I was 100%. After two and a half weeks off work I went back and after 6 days I ended up collapsing again after I got out the shower at noon and at work in the morning. It scared me. Then after a further 9 days I went down with sinusitus and an upper respirtory tract infection. Which even after two weeks of antibiotics has not cleared up. Also for some reason for the last 3 or 4 months my periods have been really irregular going from 2 weeks early to a week early then 3 days late now im 5 days late but ive always had them and they are quite draining and painful. Can u give me an insight to what this might be? Im getting really concerned.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

You should be properly examined and investigated depending on the physical examination findings. There is proper treatment for bronchial asthma and antibiotics are of no use unless there is infection in body in a person with bronchial asthma. Preventive treatment should be given to prevent further attacks of bronchial asthma. Please consult proper doctor for the same.

Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
