default
Posted on Mon, 22 Jun 2015
Question: Last night I woke up and couldn't get my breath. The couple of days before my throat was irritated. I exercised very hard the day of the night I woke up and couldn't get my breath. The same night I went back to sleep. And now today I have now and then cough. But the thing is I never lost my breath that way. I was really weezing. I thought I might die.

Brief Answer:
cardiac condition has to be evaluated

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I would be able to help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible exercise induced headache.
This is a common problem that arises when one does too much unaccustomed exercise.
I however think it would be prudent to rule out a cardiac condition before attributing your problems to headache.
I therefore suggest that you get an ecg and Echocardiography.
please do let me know the results of the tests.
I may be able to help you find the answer.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
