Suggest Treatment For High BP And Breathing Difficulty

My husband is having a hard time catching his breath. He states that when he starts to inhale he feels tightness below the base of his throat. Nothing is blocking his airway that can be seen or felt. He is 50 with high blood pressure and crowns disease. YYYY@YYYY is my email address.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

You need to consult a physician regarding the problems as an ECG would help to know the activity of the heart along with echocardiography since he has a history of high BP.

It becomes important to rule out any cardiac problems. If nothing significant is found they shall do pulmonary function tests to look for any respiratory problems.

I haven't come across crowns disease. Probably if you are talking about Crohn's disease then you need a follow up with the gastroenterologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Riyanka Chail, General & Family Physician
