What causes palpitations with chest pain and shortness of breath?
Answered by
Would it be suggested to get off the Pill and consider a different contraceptive method?
I just completed my 4th pack of Microgestin Fe 1/20 and began my 5th pack on Friday.
I also forgot to mention that earlier that week on Monday, I began to run in the mornings. I ran Monday and Wednesday. The sun was very much out by then it was hot, so I don't know if that may have anything to do with this. I do remember being very out of breath, but that should be normal since I was pretty active growing up and knew that was expected.
Other tests are advised...
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your medical history and feel sorry for the situation you are in.
Your symptoms are indicative for panic attack/anxiety. However, as you are taking Microgestin, I suggest to run further tests to exclude deep vein thrombosis, cardiac problems and pulmonary embolism:
- ECG, cardiac echo
- Chest X-ray
- respiratory function test
If everything is ok, then, most probably is due to aggravation of anxiety disorder when using Microgestin.
Hope it helped! Do let me know if I can assist you further!

So, regardless of whether or not I was on the placebo week of Microgestin, this is a side effect? Would you recommend I look into other contraceptive methods? If so, would you happen to know what could be better for someone experiencing these conditions?
Condoms&IUD...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, with the hormonal changes, Microgestin might influenza heart beats.
The idea is to implement methods that cannot interfere with your heart function. Therefore, I would recommend:
- condoms
- IUD
The do not have hormones or other chemical that can interfere with heart rate, so, you won't face fast heart beats.
Hope it answered to your query!

MD Hello, I recently traveled up to Mammoth (elevation between 7900 - 8900 ft) for the Memorial Day Weekend. We arrived on Friday evening. I felt fine all day Saturday and Sunday. After going in to bed on Sunday night I was restless and had a hard time sleeping. I started shivering and had chills. I think I started to scare myself and started having some anxiety which was making me feel like I wasn t breathing right - though I know I wasn t really breathless, didn t have shortness of breath nor was my heart rate irregular. I ended up taking my temperature at it was just under 100 degrees (normal for me is in the 97-low 98 degrees). I could tell my temperature rose a bit more as I got really warm then sweaty. I felt very dehydrated and kept drinking a lot of fluids. I was somewhat dizzy and felt a slighly nauseated. I couldn t sleep for most of the night. I took some ibuprofin and finally dosed off around 4 in the morning. I woke up around 6/7 am and didn t feel any better. My fever had come back (still low grade) and then I had a headache and body aches. I did start having some chest tightness and aches in my chest area too - similar to when my asthma acts up. As the morning went on I felt a little bit better but still had a headache, body aches and low grade fever. We left the area around noon and went back home (which is close to sea level). I felt much better still had some of the symptoms. My fever rose to almost 101 during the night (last night) but dropped after taking ibuprofin this morning. I still have had a slight headache but it and the aches have improved. Temperature hasn t risen since the night again. Question - does this sound more like a flu or virus or could it have been altitude sickness? or something else? Some of the symptoms sound like it could have been but not sure since I did have a fever and it came on after 48 hrs of being at that elevation (we slept at the lower elevation).
MD I am writing about my 14 year old son, who has been ill repeatedly 4 times for the past 7 weeks. He s been on antibiotics all 4 times, struggles to recover until his antibiotics are nearly gone, finally feels better for a few days and then gets it again. We are wondering if it is valley fever. Can that come with congestion/sinus symptoms? He s been diagnosed with sinus infections each time, but develops not only significant congestion/sinus symtpoms, but also chest pain, horrible coughing, fatigue, sore throat, and is miserable. He has faithfully taken not only strong antibiotics, but prescription strength cough syrup/decongestant, Flonase nasal spray, Zyrtec once a day, and breathing treatments up to 4 times a day, along with vitamin C and lots of fluids. He is otherwise very healthy, but his doctor is concerned that perhaps it is not really sinus infections he has had. I cannot find on the internet where there is a connection between congestion/sinus symptoms and Valley Fever - curious about that as others have asked if he has been tested for it. We live in Phoenix. As a young child he had repeated ear infections, but 4 years ago at age 10 he had his tonsils and adenoids removed, tubes in his ears, and a major sinus surgery. He has been very healthy ever since until now. Any ideas? Thank you verey much!
MD I have had recent blood samples and urine and stool cultures done. I had typhoid which took months to clear whilst I am in India. I have recently been passing what I know to be part of the superficial intestine (I had a dog who died from parvovirus and he passed the same thing just before his death and which I showed to his vet!) I recently had some diarheoa but not severe. Now, however, just 5 days after the results came back normal, I have a really severe sore throat, chest, back, neck and shoulders. My arms are sore to move and to touch, and covered in mosquito bites. I have severe pain in between my shoulder blades for which I am taking continuous pain killers. My fever is 102 and up to 104, for the past 2 days. I feel like I have severe flu and cannot do anything, even moving my fingers is causing pain!!! Can I have malaria even if my tests came back showing nothing abnormal? My chest hurts to cough, so does my back.
