Suggest Treatment For Breath Shortness And Palpitation
I had 2 cardiac stents 18 months ago... No chest pain since but lately I can hardly walk very far without becoming very short of breath and my heart rate going up high. No energy. Occasionally feel a hard pressure squeezing feeling around the upper part of my heart. Doesn t last long. I m a nurse and would tell a patient with these symptoms to go to the ER but can t seem to take my own device. I m 70 years old and still work full time. Need to go to work tomorrow.

Hi there
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that your symptoms are suggestive of angina , may be a new blockage has been developed in your arteries and this needs to be evaluated before any complications.
It's advisable for you to personally consult a cardiologist and get your TMT done , if result will be positive then you have to go for an angiography.
Hopefully this will answer your query.
Kind Regards
Dr Navneet Mahajan
