What Does Dizziness Along With Fainting And Shortness Of Breath Indicate?

I have been having dizziness, two episodes of fainting and shortness of breath over the last few months. I have also had two stents placed in my heart over the past 2 years. Am I getting another problem with a potential blocked heart artery? Went to er they said they found nothing....I am just nervous. I don t believe them after the last two times turned into emergency situations. Please advise.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query, you have symptoms of dizziness along with fainting and shortness of breath.

Well, there can be many reasons for symptoms (you have mentioned in your query) like COPD symptoms, acute bronchitis, acid reflux, asthmatic condition, sleeping apnea or upper respiratory infection.

The symptoms can also indicate towards cardiac problem. For now, eat light food at night, take benadryl twice a day and keep your head elevated while lying down.

Avoid intake of outside food, drink fresh fruit juice and avoid bending forward. I would suggest you to consult a cardiologist for proper examination.

Doctor may order chest x-ray, blood test, etcetera. Doctor may also refer you to an ENT specialist for ear problem. Take proper rest and stay hydrated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
