Hello I am experiencing tightness in my chest and little pinches that makes it difficult to breathe. I also have dizzy spells even when I am sitting. It makes me feel tired and sleepy. I was prescribed an inhaler with Albuterol and it help a little but not completely. Please help and advice. Doctors say everything is ok

Hi dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

As per your query your wife have tightness in the chest, dizzy spells and tiredness . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition like atrial fibrillation .

I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay for proper diagnosis , because it can lead to heart failure and rule out causes like stress and anxiety , muscle spasm and nerve dysfunction .

Doctor may order certain test like ECG and examine with stethoscope . Doctor may prescribe treatment for restoring your ventricular rate. Beta blockers, like Atenolol, Carvedilol, Propranolol, and others can slow the heart rate. Calcium channel blockers, such as Dilitiazem and Verapamil, are another class of drug used to slow the beating of the ventricles .

For now take proper rest and do not exert your body , keep yourself calm and do no exert your body .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
