Please, I need help. I feel extremely short of breath. Like my lungs aren t getting enough oxygen. It s non stop every single moment of every day from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. It s getting worse. It used to be occasionally now it s my day. I get dizzy, my heart skips beats and flutters and feels heavy and I don t know what s wrong. I live in Bronx, New York and the closest hospital to me happens on be the worst. They never diagnose me the right way. They either find nothing wrong or like the other doctor said I have an inflamed artery. He gave me ibuprofen but that didn t work out. I think it s more than that. Can I get another opinion, please..? Has anyone EVER complained about what I m complaining about..? I feel like I m the only one.. Please I need help.. I feel like my days are numbered.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should consult doctor and rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes. In your case my differentials are1. Cardiac failure2. Arrhythmia3. Valvular heart disease.4. Bronchitis5. Lung infection. So better to get done ECG and 2D Echo first to rule out cardiac causes. Get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out pulmonary causes. Also get done CBC to rule out anemia as this can also cause similar symptoms.
