I am 33 year- old woman. Not sure if it is affiliated with allergies (been having a horrible allergies and sinus congestion all week), but in the last few days I feel that I have had shortness of breath. Wondering if my heart seems to be beating really fast. I also had a half a cup of iced tea several hours ago and still feel jittery (and i m not usually that sensitive to iced tea...it s something I drink regularly). any idea what may be going on?
Hello and thank you for using Healthcare magic. Sinus congestion may be due to many causes, allergies are one of them. If you have allergies you should be tested for them and find out the cause of your allergy because than you can take proper medication and makes lifestyle changes to ease your problem. Shortness of breath is a common allergy symptom, and it is a sign of airway reaction to an allergy. Also, rapid heart beat OT tachycardia is an associated symptom with airway obstruction. There are many other causes associated with your symptoms, and that is why you should get a check-up by your physician as soon as possible and see what is the cause to your problems. Feel free to contact me again if you have any questions.
