What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Irregular Heart Rate?

I have been on propranalol for many years. It reduced missing heartbeats,my life has been normal. Recently, having a lot of missing beat in the evening. A stress test showed no problems. we have added motoprolol... No more missing beats. However, The issue of out of breath with minor excertion has never been addressed. I noted that my pulse disappears when first exert myself, but returns to normal in about 30 seconds. Then I can continue to excert without breathlessness. Should I worry about this.? Walter Fraedrick

You might be having arrhythmia.
Consult you cardiologist and get evaluated.
You have to take serial ECG monitoring and echo test to rule out structural defects.
