Last night while taking a bath, I got chills,shaking, fever, short of breath and dizzy,body aching, my head felt like it was going to explode. My husband took my temp it was 102.9, this lasted for about 30 min, took a Bayer asprin and everything seem to be ok. I am a 37 yr old Afro American female, and I keep headaches.Any ideas what was going on
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden onset breathlessness, fever, chills, headache etc. are seen commonly with heart diseases like hypertension, acute heart failure, pulmonary embolism etc. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test 5. CT pulmonary angiography. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart related diseases for your symptoms. Sometimes, simple viral fever can also cause similar symptoms. So Chat Doctor.
