What Could Irregular Heartbeat, Breathing Difficulty, Forelimb Numbness And Headaches Indicate?

My husband has been having tingling and numbness in his hands and noticed that his erections are not like "they were". Recently he's been having headaches that go away with otc meds but come back at night and last night woke up several times feeling like he couldn't breath. Today he's been tired and has felt little irregularities in heart beat and heavyness in chest(like several years ago) we have an appt made but can't get in till fri and today is mon. What do you think?

Hi,

These all can be a symptom of physiological or pathological disease of the heart, and palpitations can be because of a number of factors. Palpitation associated with breathing difficulty are highly suggestive of cardiac origin of problem. Few basic tests of cardiology like tmt, 2d, ecg, 24hour holter should be done to rule out the cause!

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
