What Causes Irregular Heartbeats, Breathlessness And RLS?
My name is Bobby, I am having problems with my heart. I feel short of breath, my heart is not beating fast enough, I have a raw feeling in the middle of my chest. I went to the E.R. About 6 months ago feeling short of breath but they said I may have been having a panic attack. I now have the other symptoms I mentioned above to go along with the shortness of breath. I also have restless leg nearly every night. I am in pain from a c-spine sugary I had in 2001 and under the care of a pain management Dr. I take oxycodone 10/325 1-2 pills every four hours as
needed.
Heart problems run in my dads family aunts, uncles,

Hello Bobby I went through your question and can understand your problem. You are having shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat which do it indicate towards a cardiac problem. As you have a family history of heart disease s I would suggest you to get a 24 hour holter monitoring to rule out arrhythmia. Restless leg syndrome may be caused due to electrolyte imbalance and also in severe iron deficiency. So I would also suggest you to get a serum electrolyte done and Haemoglobin test. I hope that answers your question. If you have any other questions please feel free to write.
