What to do for breathlessness and dizziness?
Patient: I feel like I have shortness of breathing and as if my heart is pumping awkwardly I also a tingling or dizziness sensation throughout my body for a brief second or two then goes away it does make me feel as if I m gonna pass out. At other times I feel like vomiting please help what do you think it could be... I ve also just started feeling this way for maybe about a week now Doctor: Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion we should rule out cardiac cause first for your symptoms. Because hypotension can cause breathlessness,  giddiness , dizziness and vomiting.So better to get done1. Ecg2. 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Get done chest x ray and PFT ( pulmonary function test ) to rule out pulmonary cause like bronchitis. So better to consult doctor and discuss all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
