Sudden shortness of breath followed by spasms. On steroids post disk replacement surgery. Hypertensive
Patient: I have been experiencing sudden shortness of breath that ends briefly with a body spasm that isn't controlled it's happened twice this month. After the spasm breathing is easier. The episodes last about a half an hour. I do have high blood pressure but do take medication for it. I have had several panic attacks but it has been over 15 years and was not like this at all. ?  I have had disk replacement surgery in my neck a year ago but have been going through a series of steroid injections but my spasms are generally in the mid back and arms. Sorry not paying didn't understand this. Please disregard my inquiry and my email Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMI can understand your problems, I think it is not the dangerous one and will come around for that you need to keep your stress level low because such symptoms are related with the mental condition like anxiety depression and other, for safety purpose I would advise you to just go for EKG test, this will rule out the possibility of any cardiac elements every thing will be fine just take it easy have great day.
