Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I have a unique symptom when I run even a short distance to catch a bus or train. I feel fluttering on my chest (like bird wings are hitting on my chest) and feels like I will have a heart attack. Also there is a feeling I cant catch on my breath for these 10-20 seconds which is horrible. This is in the middle of the chest and it goes away very quick. This has started in the last year or so. I am on euthyrox medication (100microgram/day) because I have removed thyroids with iodine radiation therapy a few years ago. I also have mitro-valve prolapse but am told from my doctor that there is nothing to worry about it. Is this cardiac related? Does euthyrox cause heart problems?
