What Causes Shortness Of Breath, Rapid Heartbeat And Sweating?

Hi, I'm an 18 year old girl. Recently I have been finding it harder to sing without getting out of breath. My heart pumps fast and i have a shortness of breathe even when I don't do anything. I think this may be worse when the weather is mild. I also sweat sometimes when im doing something as simple as putting on my make up. And sometimes when i straighten my hair i need to sit down for a second. My hands i shaking but ever ever so slightly.

Hello,

Your symptoms are pointing to generalized anxiety disorder. It is something I come across in my everyday practice. These are some of the things you should do to help with your symptoms:
1. Always try to get adequate sleep.
2. Avoid smoking or drinking if you do as it will worsen your symptoms.
3. Exercise frequently and eat a healthy diet.
Take tablet Valerian extracts one to two hours for one to two weeks. It will help you sleep well and also help with your anxiety. If your symptoms persist after two to three weeks, seek consultation with a psychologist.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Isaac Gana
