Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Breathing And Heart Palpitations

hello sir
I am 24 years old. Height 5'4 and weight 55kg.
I have constant breathing problem.Whenever i do any physical work like climbing stairs my heart starts beating very fast. i feel tired all the time. I have breathlessness and i always feel the heart's palpitation. Whenever i go to sleep i feel something is going on in my heart i dont know exactly but it feels as if i feel the blood flowing in my heart. I cannot breathe properly even while sitting it feels i am not getting full oxygen. I have been to a lung specialist and all the tests done they are all normal. I had a open heart surgery done for ASD closure in 2007. These symptoms i thought would go away after the surgery but there is not even 1% change in my condition. I feel the same before and after the surgery. Now i cant figure out which Doctor should i see. I have been to a cardiologist and pulmnologist and all tests are fine. Please suggest me which doctor should i see. Also i have lot of gas .....i keep burping all the time..Can these breathing problems are because of gas?? Should i see a gastrologist please advise??

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 because your all reports are normal.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms like palpitations, breathlessness, gaseous bloating etc.
So in my opinion, you should definitely consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily for gaseous bloating.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
