What Causes Excessive Sweating And Shortness Of Breath Along With Stomach Pressure?

Yesterday when I was walking to my car from grocery shopping by the time I got to my car I could barely breath. I was sweating something awful. Before I could even begin to take any groceries out the car I had to sit down and rest. It took me 30 min to get the groceries in the car cause I had to keep stopping to sit down in the air conditioner. Made me shake a lot. I ended up having to call my sister to come drive me home. Feels like something heavy is sitting right above my stomach and when I press down right below my rib cage between them it hurts and feels like a lump is sitting above my stomach.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should immediately consult cardiologist and get done
1. ECG
2. 2d echo to rule out cardiac cause.
Your symptoms like sweating,shortness of breath and chest heaviness are seen most commonly in congestive cardiac failure or myocardial ischaemia.
So get done above mentioned investigation s to rule out these.
If both are negative than no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
This may be due to acute gastritis also. So avoid hot and spicy food. Take proton pump inhibitor. But first rule out cardiac cause. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
I find this answer helpful
