What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Strong Heart Beats?

I have shortness of breath, strong heart beat in my chest, and increased pressure in my sinuses and head area. When I drink water it seems to cool my chest and I am better when resting. I went to a doctor. had an ekg and chest exray and they did not see anything wrong.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all no need to worry for major heart and lung diseases as your reports are normal.
Shortness of breath, palpitations, headache etc are also seen with stress and anxiety.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You will also need anxiolytic drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with counseling and drugs.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
