How To Treat Heart Palpitation With Breath Shortness With Normal Lab Test Reports?
I HAVE HEART PALPITATIONS & JUST RECENTLY STARTED GETTING SHORTNESS OF BREATH, THAT COMES & GO. WENT FOR AN EKG, WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FINE BUT THEY ARE LOOKING @ THE LEFT VENT. DID A STRESS TEST TODAY, & I THINK THE DR SAID THAT MY READING WAS GOOD BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRESSURE DIDN T SIT RIGHT. MY PRESSURE DURING THE TEST CAME UP TO 182/102 FOR A 10MIN WALK W/A HIGH INCLINE
