What Causes Palpitations Of Heart Along With Shortness Of Breath?

My name is Jessica and I ve been on a heart monitor for a week to find out why I ve been feeling light headed with very strong heart palpitations- I ve counted 30 pulses in 10 seconds when this happens to me- today I had some usual symptoms however now I m tasting rotten eggs in the back of my throat following extreme shortness of breath- are the two related?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have palpitations of heart along with shortness of breath . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acid reflux , atrial fibrillation , other cardiac conditions and anxiety attack . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out more serious condition first . Doctor may order ECG , TMT , complete blood profile and sometimes angiography . Doctor may prescribe calcium channel blockers ,aspirin , sedatives and recommend pace maker . Doctor may also refer you to psychologist . For now stay calm and take proper rest .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
