What Causes Lightheadedness, Nausea And Shortness Of Breath That Has Lasted Throughout The Day?
Question: Light headedness, nausea, shortness of breath. onset last night continuing into today
Brief Answer:
Seek medical care
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I would recommend that you seek medical care to exclude heart attack by an electrocardiogram as these symptoms although unusual but can be a sign of an upcoming heart attack.
If excluded then this could be due to gastric esophagal reflux disease which should be improved by omeprazole and ranitidine. Also, this could be due to bronchitis which can be diagnosed by a chest X-ray and can be treated by an anti-inflammatory medication as ibuprofen tablets.
I hope you find this helpful.
