What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Headache?

Lately I been having these unusual feelings. Sometimes I think that it s just my imagination and I tend to ignore it. Through out the day I feel weak, fatigue, and just tired all the time. Around night I get this rapid heart rate, I can almost feel it about to come out of my chest and my head feels heavy. I get pressure on the back of my head and also near my eyes and nose. I begin to get shortness of breath. I also get these intense headaches , almost as if my head is pouding

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more.
But better to rule out cardiac diseases. So get done ecg first. If ecg is normal than no need to worry for cardiac disease.
You are mostly having anxiety.
Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
