Hi. Im 21 and recently, I have experienced random shortages of breath caused by my heart beating really strongly and slightly faster which also makes my chest hurt and goes up to my neck and somehow shrinks it. This happens when I sit, stand...whenever. It started three days ago and its really bothering me. I tried resting more and all that but nothing helps. I love my work so I dont think its because of stress. However, I have horrible housemates who tend to party several times a week so sometimes I dont get my sleep. But although I have slept the whole night and had my rest the heart thing wont stop.
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Your physical examination necessary according to your history.... Get your pulse checked with measurement of blood pressure.... Here cardiac cause has to be ruled out... For that ECG and 2d echo will be useful.... If they come normal then stress or irregular sleep might be contribution factor... If respiratory physical examination suspicion of resp cause then chest x-ray and pulmonary function test done. According to cause treatment done... Consult physician for detail examination ...
