Hi sir and welcome to XXXXXXX Thank you for your query.
this is probably caused by temporary hypotension and oxygen defficieny which is likely to happen after excessive physical activity especially if you were dehydrated and on warm environment. Sometimes during activity our heart may beat irregular for few minutes and it can cause lack of blood flow and lack of oxygen in our brain. This is not harmful in most cases and isn't significant especially in your age.
But, you should have on mind that sometimes it can be sign of certain heart disease,rarely some neurologic disease. Si if this happens in rest, or if you feel fatigue soon after some physical activity, pain in cheat, vision disorder, diZziness or blood pressure abnormalities, you should visit cardiologist for further evaluation. Wish you good health. Regards

I am having acidity problem when ever i get tension lots of burp comes during that time i feel little pain in my chest and dizziness but once burp goes i feel normal.
Previously i asked question in healthcare magic...Doctor said i am having Anxiety problem
"Sir / Madam,
I am 35 Years Old and 73Kg weight. Recently I am having problem when ever I am getting tension lots of burping coming and during that time I feel heart discomfort and feel dizziness. Recently I am having symptoms whenever I climb stairs I feel shortness of breath for some time then I feel normal. From the age of 16 I am working out in GYM and I always keep my body fit. I did some online study then I feel that I am having anxiety and depression problem. Three years back my father had a heart attack problem and had surgery. So when ever I have some kind of chest pain I feel I am having the heart attack problem. I did two times heart check in the last 2 years and the result came normal. Recently in my office General health check-up came and the result Bb 60 /100. But they said normal. I forced them to take ECG and result came normal but they said one XXXXXXX has little deviation but nothing to worry. But to rule out have this ECG check again after 1 week. This put me in really worry. In the afternoon after having lunch in the office I feel faint and run to medical room in my office. Doctor came from the camp and checked sugar and BP everything is normal. They mention that I am really worried about the ECG result and nothing to worry, but to rule out have a check after 1 week. But I haven't checked it’s been a 3 weeks now. But when I do brisk walking in the morning I feel good and I am not feeling shortness of breath but only during climbing stairs that too for some minutes. Please suggest me I am having heart problem, or low BP or Anxiety."

"Hello XXXXX,
Thanks for posting the question here.
Your age is 35 years,
Weight 73 kg ,
Blood pressure 100/60 mm of Hg. ,
Every time E C G came normal.
Your father had surgery for heart attack,
Now a days from last 10-15 years the life style of young in India has changed so much. Adults usually visits gym regularly in our country,so remains fit.
That is the main reason that ,now heart attack is not a hereditary disease,so don't worry at all.
Tension increases acid secretion in stomach.
When more acid in stomach, there is gastritis,
Gastritis develops gas,
Gastritis causes burping as in your case.
You mentioned in query that ,you feel heart discomfort and dizziness.
Actually these two symptoms are also related to hyper acidity ( gastritis) and ANXIETY.
When you climb stairs ,you feel shortness in breath. When we climb over mountain, due to high altitude ( less oxygen compare to ground level ) ,we feel shortness in breath and this is a natural process.Same thing happens during upstairs.
You mentioned that you are a gym goer and physical fit. From last 19 years , you are doing regular exercise ,so no chance of heart attack. Every time when check up was done , your ECG were normal ( little deviation but that was normal). From the last two years , you are passing in TENSION i.e. ANXIETY.
Here I would like to say only one thing, that you are not a patient of heart attack.
Consult a psychiatrist and get in treatment for anxiety and mild depression.
Hope I have answered your query.
If ,further any question I will be happy to help.
Wish you a good luck."

Hi and welcome.
yes, anxiety can cause such symptoms and you should be aware of it. Anxiety and stress are also one of the main cause of gastritis. It seems like you ruled out heart disease,and you have to believe when ecg says it is normal. But did you evaluate your stomach condition. hiatus hernia is usually associated with gastritis and it causes shortness of breath even in rest,it also causes air trapping in esophagus and often burping. The only way to verify this is to do gastroscopy.
till that,just continue with physical activity, it is best cure for anxiety. Also,try to do things that makes you relaxed. When you feel breathless you just need to breath deeply and lay down with elevated upper body. Of nothing is helpful you should consider some medicines and psychotherapy. Regards
