What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Jaw Pain?

On Oct.21 2 pulmonary embolisms were found in my right lung and ever since my heart rate and BP have been up. My heart rate on a daily basis has been 113-135. I ve struggled with sever depression since the clots were found, too. I had a baby march 3 2015 and gained a lot of weight. I m now 180 and yes I am a smoker no I don t drink because I m not able to while on the med s I m currently taking. I m currently prescribed to Eliquis, MetFormin, Lamictal, Olanzapine, Klonopin, albuterol, alli, Vyvanse, advair and bentyl. My medical issues include epilepsy, IBS, ADHD, major depression, PTSD, asthma, polycystic ovarian disease, raynauds,non-alcoholic chronic liver disease, kidney stones and my hematologist is still trying to figure out where the clots came from. My BP has been anywhere from 129/89-159/107. I ve had many panic attacks in the past couple weeks and chest pain. Sunday I started back at the gym and went back Mon and Tues. All I did was walk on the treadmill. I walked at a minimum speed of 2.7 and my heart rate was in the 140 s. I took the speed up to 3.2 and my heart rate went up to 150 s-172. I made the incline 8 and walked at a speed of 3.4 and my heart rate went up to 170. So, I took it back down to no incline at a speed of 2.9 for about 10 min. and my heart rate was still between 160 and 174. I ve been having a lot of trouble breathing since Sunday. I only use my albuterol inhaler as needed. I ve been using it at least 3x a day with 2 puffs. My left leg and arm into my hand have really been bothering me pretty bad today. My chest, mid and left side continue to feel tight and like there s a boulder on my chest. My neck and between my shoulder blades and in my jaw on both sides have hurt pretty bad all day. Last night when I was at the gym the left side of my face had goosebumps and I was literally pouring sweat. I ve been stretching and trying to get the pain to go away but nothing not even Tylenol works. I m in a lot of pain and every time the EMT s come get me due to high blood pressure which causes me to have horrible migraines, I get to the hospital they check for clots and then I m given medicine to make my migraine go away but they re not treating me or admitting me for the cause of the migraine which is high blood pressure. I d hate to go back to the ER just for them to do go through the whole process that I continue to go through and my GP is out today and I m yet to find a cardiologist.. Please, help me!

Hi,

With all of your symptom complex shortness of breath with pain in neck suggests possibility of cardiac ischemia. You should take rest and take a pill of Glyceryl nitrate sublingual if the symptoms aggravate & reach a cardiologist earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
