What Causes Shortness Of Breath, Tight Chest, Tingly Fingers And Feet?

Hi i am 19 years old. Earlier a vein in my neck on my right hand side. Was sore and seemed like it was pumping harder. My fingers and feet would alternate from being hot andclammy or cold and little tingly. Also had shortness of breath, my cheat was tight and it seemed like there was a lot of pressure in my nose/ sinus s and head. I ve had an ekg done about 4 or 5 years ago and it was perfect. What could it be and what should i do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have shortness of breath, tight chest, tingly fingers and feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like congestive heart failure , kidney failure or diabetic ketoacidosis . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist without any delay . Doctor may order ECG , TMT along with troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe betablockers , diuretics along with anti coagulant . Doctor may refer you to nephrologist for kidney problem and endocrinologist for diabetes problem .Doctor may also refer you to chest specialist for chest infection . For now stay calm , lower your salt consumption and keep legs elevated while sleeping .
