What Causes Dizziness Along With Shortness Of Breath?

Hi earlier today i was standing folding washing when my heart felt it stalled and at the same time i had a major spinning sensation rising up to the top of my head. It wasnt enough to knock me down and there was no sweating but i did feel the blood drain from my face, the whole episode lasted approx 20 seconds and felt fine afterwards. I have felt short of breath for the remainder of today however. Any thoughts??? ND

Your symptoms are suggestive of Ongoing Myocardial ischemia. I advise you to get an ECG 2D Echo,lipid profile,he CRP,Troponin I.I also advise you to stress echo done and chest x ray immediately.Also monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.Take drugs like clopilet,Ecosprin,lipid lowering drugs,pantop immediately. Avoid smoking and alcohol.Also take drugs like clonazepam by consulting your doctor.Also take fruits like apple,pomegranate.Take salt restricted high protein diet.Coronary angiogram with or without stenting is the treatment of choice.Exercise regularly for 30 min.Also Meditation,yoga,breathing exercises will help.Consult your cardiologist for expert management and discuss the above.
