What Causes Fluttering When I Breath Along With Nausea?
Hi - I ve had this persistant cough for a couple months and have been prone to getting Bronchitis for long durations over the last couple years. Lately I ve had this strange fluttering when I breathe (occasional) which when it happens causes this pressure in my head and hardness in my chest. Lately I ve been battling fatigue and have been getting chilled easily. I won t have insurance until 8/1, but was hoping you might have an idea what is going on with me. Thanks for any help you can offer. Dianna

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. CBC (Complete Blood Count)
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray and CBC are required to rule out lung infection as a cause.
PFT is needed to diagnose chronic bronchitis.
So please consult pulmonologist and discuss all these and start treatment according to the diagnosis.
