Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Irregular Heartbeat?
I have shortness of breath, my heart beats very irregular.i have chestpain and so on. Yesterday I had an Angiogram and the Doctor told me , there is nothing wrong with my heart , also I do not have to talk my Medications prescribed by 2 different Cardioligists while I was at the Emergency.
Shortness of breath can have a variety of causes like cardiac causes and respiratory causes. To rule out cardiac cause you have to go for ECG & 2D Echo. As the angiography has already been done, I expect that they have already done ECG and echo which rules out cardiac cause. Other cause include respiratory cause which can be detected by Chest x-ray. So get these tests done to go for further management plan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks, Dr Sameer Maheshwari
