What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Heart Fluttering?
all week i have been having trouble breathing because of the allergy levels so ive been stuffed up bad. im also sensing heart fluttering. im also taking beta blockers at the moment but my husband also just left out of the country. could a mix of the stress and his leaving be causing?
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.
Anyway, I would recommend performing a careful physical examination and some tests:
-a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound -blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, fasting glucose, blood electrolytes, kidney and liver function tests) to exclude other possible causes of your symptomatology.
I recommend you to carefully monitor your blood pressure during the day and refer those values to your attending physician.
If all the above tests result normal, the main cause of your symptomatology would be just pure anxiety.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
Dr. Iliri
