Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My heart is pounding. Feels like it is going to pound out of my chest. Also my heart is skipping several beats. Nothing hurts but I feel like I am SOB and that I ran a marathon. What could be the problem? Also don t know if this has anything to do with this but I have had a cough for 2 weeks now
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that pounding heart with SOB requires evaluation before doing any exertion all activity.
It’s recommended for you to get a basic cardiac evaluation done which includes ECG, echocardiography and a HOLTER and CBC, TSH and X-Ray Chest and then consult with reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
