Shortness of breath, tachycardia, 160/100 blood pressure,124 heart beat,normal after 2 hours,slight shortness of breath persists for the 2nd day now.ECG normal but heart rythm fast done in the episode
If you have any reason to be concerned about a heart conditions, such as having risk factors for:
- coronary artery disease (obesity, high blood cholesterol, chronic smoking, family history of heart disease at an early age)
- problems with heart rhythm (arrhythmias)
- risk for blood clotting: obesity, smoking and use of oral contraceptive pills (OCPs), recent immobilization (due to surgery for example), advanced varicose veins; these put you at a risk of having blood clots in the lung blood vessels, what we call pulmonary embolism
Then you need not worry too much. You are advised to do a 24 hour monitoring of the heart rate and blood pressure to follow the pattern and spot any abnormalities during a regular day. You may also want to get an echocardiogram should these episodes recur to make sure all the heart structures are normal.
If all turns out to be normal, then we may be dealing with anxiety attacks or panic attacks, which may very well mimic the symptoms of a heart attack. If this is indeed the case, you will need to follow up with a psychologist or psychiatrist.
yu need to consult a cardiologist and if no problem then a pulmonologist
