Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I was just laying down and I accidentally didn’t breath. Like a caught myself watching tv then I felt my heart palpitations so I got scared, no pain no nothing... I got so Scared that I had shortness of breath.i guess I got scared because last time that happened I felt my chest come out of my chest with fast irregular heart rhythm... I sat down and the pounding when out of my chest. No pain no nothing, just felt like my heart was coming out of my chest for like 20 sec Max
I had gone through your complaints and understood your true concerns. Palpitations and shortness of breath (dyspnoea) are to be considered along with age factor. In younger age there in nothing much to worry, as the cause may be allergic reaction or strenuous exercise etc. But in middle age or older age many factors may cause shortness of breath and palpitations. Asthma, congestive heart failure, hormonal changes etc.
So as per your history in my opinion the cause might be due some stress which is most common. But as health issue is always utmost concern for us, we should not neglect the things and go for further evaluation.
First better to go for all relevant investigations,
1. Chest X-ray
2. ECG
3. Serum electrolytes
4. Complete blood picture
Make the thing soon, as this is a health issue.
Take Care!
