Well I have switched to a new PCP so we will see what he says, and as for the post right after mine, i was diagnosed with asthma as a kid, but never ever had an asthma attack, and just recently they put me on inhalers because of shortness of breath, but the shortness of breath I think is from my anxiety, this doctor just met me and has not actually examined me just was like o you have shortness of breath here is some inhalers, and your blood pressure is high today so here are some blood pressure
Three weeks into the meds, I began having chest tightness and shortness of breath. I went to my cardiologist, and the ecg was normal. He suggested ibuprofen for swelling in case I had inflamed chest wall that was causing the symptoms. Two days later, the tightness was still there so I saw my FP. He took a chest x-ray, which showed nothing. He sent me to a pulmonologist who did a CT scan. This came back negative for a blood clot, and she could not identify any problems from it.

The chocolate-brown color of blood is a specific that is typically associated with methemoglobinemia. It's very interesting that you have observed that. The condition is related to decreased levels of reducing agents in your blood. Nitroglycerin is known as a drug that reduces levels of those reducing agents. Others include antibiotics and numbing agents such as lidocaine.
I had severe shortness of breath and other symptoms due to severe bradypnea. At my worst, breathing dropped down to 6 breaths a minute. Bradypnea is my worst symptom of hypothyroidism. Bradypnea can lead to hypoxemia (low oxygen) and hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide). I had a false normal pulse oximeter (a sensor device placed on the fingertip) reading due to high carbon dioxide in the blood.

but due to reoccurring symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea he implanted a loop recorder to see what was going on. I had been taking bystolic 20 mg, after my episode in December they added cardizem 240 mg. the symptoms never seemed to resolve but I tried to deal with it. Fast forward to last week I felt short of breath & dizzy, I went to the ED & was sustaining in the 160's. They started me on IV cardizem & admitted me for 4 days.
Shortness of breath can happen for lots of reasons.
Sometimes it can happen because a person is breathing too fast, called hyperventillation. This can happen when people have panic attacks, and are very worried or anxious. Sometimes people also have tingly fingers when this happens.
Sometimes shortness of breath can also be from serious medical problems.
Hi, for the past 9 days I have had constant shortness of breath. It started with a dry cough, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath but now it's pretty much just the shortness of breath. I also am constantly burping and I feel as if I have a lump stuck in my throat. I have had a chest x-ray, ekg, blood tests and a CT angiogram of my chest done. Everything came out normal.

Shortness of breath is a common symptom that can be caused by a long list of possible underlying problems. The safest course of action would be to see your physician. Your doctor can take a careful history, conduct a physical exam, and then order appropriate tests. Without any additional information, it would not be possible to answer your question in an accurate manner.
This is when all the trouble started with lightheadedness, chest pain, shortness of breath and I became more sick than I was before taking these medications. When I complained, he changed to Bystolic 5mg. This made it worse by lowing down the heart beat to 43. These beta blockers caused me so much problem that I requested him to give other medications like HCTZ. Now I am on HCTZ 25 mg.
Do any of you suffer shortness of breath along with PVCs? I believe I do. I "skip beats" always at least 1 in every 30. sometimes as often as 1 in 2 or 3 beats.
thanks its not too bad at the moment, I had asthma as a child till I was about 18 and have always had shortness of breath when exersising, I am now 30 so would have thought the asthma should have cleared up, but it certainly feels like that, a sort of heavy lung feeling. No dizzyness or lightheadedness. Am seeing my doc ob Fri so will mention it then, glad to know that others experienced the same though.
I meant this to be a comment on a previous post about people who have the same problem I have with excessive yawning or inability to complete the yawn and shortness of breath. The shortness of breath is not really "shortness of breath" though. It is the best way to describe it I guess but it just feels like you can't get a full satisfying deep breath.
