Question: Hello Dr.
Sometimes I feel when riding the stairs (long) as well as when sexual intercourse with my wife, shortness of breath and burp and tight stomach and sighed.
I measured my heart rate was good in 66.
Is it normal or is it connotations of disease or stress on the heart
Note that I have always closing nose because of The sensitivity of the nose and sinuses .

Brief Answer:
Not normal,suggestive for ischemia/heart failure

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your symptoms are indicative for cardiac issues (ischemic heart disease or heart failure).They are not normal. Further investigations are needed to determine the right cause:
- ECG
- cardiac echo
- stress test
- chest X-ray
- respiratory function test (as you are reporting to have always closing nose)

as soon as possible

Hope it helped!

Brief Answer:
Other examinations are needed...

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome back!

Although all your ECG in the past were normal, this isn't enough to say that you have nothing to worry about. Other examinations are needed.

As i wrote earlier you should run all the mentioned examinations (Cardiac Echo, stress test, chest x ray and respiratory test) in order to find the right diagnosis for your concerns.

Wish you health!

Thanks Dr
I visit a cardic specialist and run ECG and Echo(attached report) and he is saying regarding hart every thing ok and no need for further tests.
He is saying to me complete X-ray for your chest and if its ok then it seems that you are wooried and you have an anxiety and he advice me to start walking.
Can you check result and give me your opinion.

Brief Answer:
Normal...run stress test&respiratory function test

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

I have gone through your echocardiography report and everything is normal. That's great.

At this point, stress test and respiratory function testing is advised together with chest X-ray. If they will result normal, then, there is nothing to worry about any cardio-pulmonar issues.

All the best!
