What Causes Goosebumps And Dizziness Along With Difficulty Breathing?

Brief Answer:
Possible myocardial infarction - ECG necessary

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.

I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.

Looking at the query, my opinion is as follows:

1. It appears to be a possible severe allergic reaction or a myocardial infarction. Rare cause would be severe gastritis.

If you were my patient, i would suggest

1. An immediate ECG and Chest X-ray.

2. She needs to be shifted to emergency to get the tests done.

3. Oxygen saturation needs to be evaluated.

She is having a possible myocardial infarction. Due to this, she is having an hypotensive episode.

Give her aspirin 300 mg orally and sublingual glyceryl trinitrate. Immediately avoid any further stress to her and shift her to emergency.

Based on ECG findings, further treatment is necessary.


Any further queries, ready to help again.

Brief Answer:
Possible stress with gastritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again.

Good to know her ECG is normal.

Goose bumps often indicate extreme stress or cold.

Stress can cause difficulty in breathing problems and gastritis, which can manifest as chest discomfort. Due to breathing problems, reduced oxygenation in blood is leading to dizziness.
Hypothyroidism can also present with these findings.

If she were my patient, i would advise:

1. Proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole to reduce gastritis.

2. Complete rest. Keep her warm.

3. If necessary, bronchodilators like ipratropium bromide can be taken to improve breathing.

4. Improvement in diet (protein rich diet) with increased fluids to improve blood pressure. (Hope her blood pressure is within normal limits)

5. Avoid benzodiazapenes and other anxiolytics as it might depress the respiratory system.

Hope there is no sputum production as it indicates a possible lower respiratory tract infection.

Need to get a complete hemogram to rule out anemia or infections. Also, a thyroid hormone profile to rule out hypothyroidism.


If any tests have been done, do let me know. I will try to help you more.

Any further queries, happy to help you again.

Brief Answer:
Complete hemogram with eosinophil levels needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for replying again.

Once a month at this age for three years appears to be chronic.

Specific allergic reaction to environment - air or food needs to be looked into closely. Correlation with eosinophil count is important. Detailed previous history including the history preceding the symptoms and length of symptoms and treatment given to reduce is essential.

Regular treatment for gastritis is necessary - as advised before..

Avoiding stress is very important.

A complete hemogram to evaluate for anemia and eosinophils is necessary.

Balanced diet, mild exercises with regular sleep and avoidance of allergens is essential. Not sure about homeopathic medicines, but is it helpful. What allopathic medicines have already been take and how long? Treatment history is essential. If none taken, above can be tried for atleast till the next episode. It does not appear to be a specific lung disorder.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
