What Causes Tachycardia, Fatigue And Breathing Difficulty?
I HAD BACK SURGERY LAST MAY 22, 2013. EVER SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN VERY ILL WITH TACHYCARDIA, FATIGUE TO A POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO FUNCTION. I REALLY FEEL LIKE I M DYING. I FEEL LIKE I CAN T GET MY BREATH SOMETIMES. I HAVE TO LIE DOWN A LOT. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY DOCTORS & HOSPITALS, BUT THEY HAVEN T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME. BUT MY HUSBAND & I ARE AT OUR WITS END. THE DOCTOR DID A LUMBAR FUSION . TITANIUM WAS USED. THANK YOU, LINDA DRIGGERS, PARIS, TX.

Hello,
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that your symptoms can be cardiac because decreased physical activity after surgery.
Kindly get an ECG and Echocardiography done and consult a physician with reports for further evaluation.
