Suggest Treatment For Heart Palpitations And Shortness Of Breath
Hi my name is nicole i am 37 years old for the last three days i have been experiencing heart palpitations, short of breath numbness on left side through arm and tingling as well as nausea i feel like im going to pass out. Sometimes they last up to an hour or sometimes maybe just 5 to 10 minutes. Im really concerned
Hello Nicole! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is necessary to perform a differential diagnosis for your recent complains: Is it a cardiac ischemia (though it doesn't seem too much to be a cardiac disorders)? An acute pulmonary disorder? An abnormal neurological condition? Or something else?!! I recommend you to ask medical asistance to the nearest ER service to rule out/in seriuos health conditions. A careful physical examination, coupled with a resting ECG, some lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, including cardiac enzymes), a chest X ray film, eventually a cardiac ultrasound, a cervical&thoracal thoracic X ray film, etc are necessary to identify etiological reason of your complains.
Hope te hapve been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
