Suggest Treatment For Rapid Heart Rate And Shortness Of Breath
About 3 or4 times a year my husband has an episode were his heart starts racing, his chest feels tight, and he gets short of breath. It happened today, and it was bad enough that he had to kneel down and wait it out. It only lasts a couple of minutes, but it seems to get worse every time.
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has palpitations and shortness of breath. Itcan be due to anginal pain or hypertension. He should check his blood pressure and go for electrocardiogram once. If needed go for trade meal test and lipid profile. Then start treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
