What Does A Sudden Episode Of Lack Of Oxygen And Lightheadedness Indicate?
Question: Sudden episodes of lack of oxygen. Unable to fully breath followed by light headed and light feeling of pins and needles all over my body. More significant on my arms and legs.
Brief Answer:
Needs detailed evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome.
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
Sudden onset shortness of breath could be because of cardiac or respiratory issue. This needs detailed evaluation of both the systems.
You will need a ECG & physical examination of chest & heart. I'll recommend you to go to the nearby hospital for it.
It could also be anxiety, but it is difficult to say without proper examining.
So, go to the hospital. I pray & hope that everything comes out normal.
Thanks & take care
