What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Chest Discomfort?
I am a 63 year old woman in good health, 5 6 , 133 pounds, non-smoker, occasional glass of wine. In the past couple of months, I experienced shortness of breath three times, almost like I just stopped breathing with an odd feeling in my chest, not pain or pressure exactly. I know it scared me the first time as I thought I might be going to have a heart attack

Hello,
Consult a physician and get evaluated.
A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause. Serial ECG and echo are required to rule out possible cardiac causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
