What causes headache, chest pain and breathlessness?
Patient: my husband had a head ache, couldnt breath, chest pain and he said that it went silent and dark, he was in the hospital but they couldnt find anything wrong with him. he will have these spells where he just looks straight ahead and he said that his body starts to tingle all over, do you know what it could be Doctor: Hello!Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your husband symptoms could be related to TIA (transient ischemic attacks) or seizures. A cardiac arrhythmia can not be excluded either. Coming to this point, I would recommend performing further tests: - an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring to investigate for cardiac arrhythmia - a brain MRI study- an EEG. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Kind regards, Dr. Iliri
