Suggest Treatment For Tightness In Heart Muscles Causing Shortness Of Breath
I have shortness of breath for more than three weeks now, i have done ecocardiogram and the doctor said their might me a tightness in my heart muscles...he told me to go the GP and find out more. So I am going next week to the GP, is this a serious problem?
No this doesnot appear to be a serious problem if your ecg was normal, i am not sure why he told you that there is tightness in your heart muscle as heart muscles donot get this condition. may be you were told there is tightness of chest muscles which is the most common cause of chest pain and breathing problem without any cardiac issue.
