Why Does Breathlessness Occur After Light Work, Two Months Post Heart Attack?

Hi, I had a heart attack and my heart stopped 4 times 2 months ago. I have been out of hospital for a month. The problem is I have trouble breathing when I do light work and sometimes when at rest. The doctors can t find anything wrong and told me to give my medication time to work. Not being able to breathe normally is unbearable, Can you tell me what could be wrong?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

As you have a heart attack before months, it suggests that your cardiac output may have reduced. So whenever you will do work, your heart may not able to overcome the stress produced during work.

You should also check your hemoglobin level to evaluate other reasons of breathlessness after work.

And as per my opinion, you should rest still for another 3 months and only do the light walk. Avoid oily foods and salt plus sugar.

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

Regards,
