Family History Of Heart Attack. Tests Normal. Breathlessness, Anxiety, Dizziness, Heart Discomfort. Heart Problem/low BP/anxiety?
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 mark 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,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
From the description that you have given, it appears that you are having an anxiety disorder like panic attacks. During these attacks you can have all the symptoms that you have described and they are in a form of episode of intense anxiety settling down in 1-4 hours.
You should continue to maintain a healthy life style and should see a psychiatrist.
He may suggest twp types of treatments for you:
1) Psychotherapy: Cognitive Behvaioural Therapy. Some 8-10 sessions weekly will make a lot ofdifference.
2) Medications: Propranolol, clonazepam, escitalopram, fluoxetine etc are very useful for your illness.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
