Question: 32 year old black female from Port-au-Prince, Haiti... Suffer from stomach pains,, Pain in back of neck,,Heavy Breathing, Fill like someone is choking her...What do you think Doc? thank you...She does not smoke or drink..
Brief Answer:
possible causes explained below...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First and foremost, let me address that the heavy breathing, feeling like choking needs to be evaluated without any further delay. Cardiac/Pulmonary causes needed to be ruled out at first (an ECG along with 2D-Echocardiography, Chest X-ray, Blood gas analysis and cardiac enzyme study should be performed).
The stomach pain, pain in the back of the neck may or may not be related to this. However, if the mental alertness is affected, there is any neck stiffness, then a prompt neurological check-up is also recommended at the nearest ER/Urgent care. All these will clarify the findings further, hence recommended without any further delay.
Please note there are several other possible causes apart from this (secondary infections most notably), however, the heavy breathing and feeling of choking need to be addressed as a priority as they need an immediate emergency check-up to avoid any secondary (cardio-pulmonary or neurological) complications.
Please don't panic, but don't wait any longer and refer to your nearest ER/Urgent care for immediate medical attention.
Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
Regards
