Suggest Treatment For Severe Chest Pain And Rapid Heart Rate

A lot of things cause my heart to hurt. Almost like its enlarging and all of a sudden it doesn t have enought room in my chest. ex: when I go for a run, cleaning around the house, or even when I take a bath. It just starts this huge thumping and increases in speed and then it s hard to breathe. I understand running and why that can happen. By why also every day activities? I have iron-deficient anemia and tend to that as needed.. But could that have anything to do with it?

yes anemia can cause sob and fatigue due to poor O2 carrying capacity. Prolonged anaemia may cause enlargement of ht and may cause CHF and fast heart. Get ur anemia corrected. Also get EKG and chest X-ray to check for CHF and to detect any arrhythmia.
