What Causes Shortness Of Breath,fatigue,light Headedness And Palpitations?

Hi! I m 29 yr old female. For a month now, I ve been experiencing shortness of breath, fatigue, light headedness, headache, sometimes palpitations. During my first attack I experienced fast palpitation and shortness of breath. My doc said it was bronchial asthma. I already took medications but I m still experiencing it until now though the shortness of breath is not really always. I don t do work. I only stay at home.

If all of these is negative you will need evaluation, like ecg and further tests like electrophysiological studies for which you will have to local cardiologist Try to count your pulse rate during the episodes if it's too high then you should visit local cardiologist.
