What To Do If Heart Was Beating Fast, Sides Hurt, Stomach Started To Grumble And Had Difficulty In Breathing?
This morning I woke up, and my heart was beating so fast that it hurt. Then when I sat up my sides started to hurt. Like a cramping feeling. My stomach started to grumble and then the pain came to my sides again. This time it was difficult to breathe.
Blood pressure falls during these episodes and one has dizziness, fainting, blackouts, sometimes syncope. Usually, ECG is normal as it is usually done in between the episodes. ECG done during episodes will show abnormality.
You will need 24 hour Holter monitoring. So visit a nearby cardiologist for these investigations. Also, haemoglobin and thyroid test should be done. ln order to abort such episodes you should try to cough hard.
Is there any stress or anxiety associated. Till the time your evaluation is complete, you can ask your local doctor for tab Ciplar LA once a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sagar Makode, Cardiologist
