What Causes Persistent Shortness Of Breath, Cough And Cold?

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to any cardiac disorders.
So, they do not seem to indicate any serious medical condition.
Musculo-skeletal pain or inflammation could be the reason of this symptomatology.
A lung disorder can not be excluded either.
Is the chest pain triggered by deep breathing or body movements? This would indicate a musculo-skeletal pain.
From the other hand elevated blood pressure values could be related to inflammation or anxiety.
I would recommend taking acetaminophen three times daily for some days. If it helps improve your situation, it would be indicative of inflammation or musculo-skeletal pain as the main cause of your troubles.
If the pain persists, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X ray study and pulmonary function tests
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation.
I would also advise you to avoid straining physical activity in the next days.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Feel free to ask me again whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thank you for the additional information!
Your symptoms seem to be related to gastro-esophageal reflux or gastritis. The fact that you have not been eating too much is another argument in favor of these causes underlying your troubles.
For this reason, I would recommend taking Zantac or omeprazole in addition to acetaminophen in the next days.
If you have any other uncertainties, please don't hesitate to ask me again!
Wishing all the best,

On a good note, I did have a few moments where I felt completely normal throughout the day but mainly in between meals (specifically meals with meat)

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a gastro-intestinal disorder, like GERD or a hiatal hernia.
From the other hand other possible causes like chronic inflammation, a sinus infection or a lung chronic infection can not be excluded either.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X ray study and pulmonary function tests
- a resting ECG
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- a sinus X ray study.
A fibrogastroscopy may be needed.
You should discuss with your doctor on these issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
I would be happy to review all your tests for another second professional opinion.
So, keep me informed.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
