What Causes Breathlessness And Palpitations?

I HAVE BEEN HAVEING A FEELING LIKE THE BREATH BEING SUCKED OUT OF MY CHEAST. IT IS JUST A FEW SECONDS AND GOES AWAY. THEN YESTERDAY ON OUR BIKE RIDE I GOT WINDED AND MY HEART BEAT DID NOT SEAM TO BEAT RIGHT. A FEW MONTHS BACK I HAD STREP THAT WENT TO MY HEART AND CAUSED PALPUTATIONS COULD SOMETHING STILL BE WRONG WITH MY HEART?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should definitely rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) in your case because streptococcal infection can affect your conduction system of heart.
So consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for arrhythmia or other heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms like palpitations and winded feeling.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
