Heart palpitations and difficulty breathing.

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi I am 21 years old I do not have any diseases and no family history for heart diseases even my grandfathers and grandmothers and I am a bodybuilder. My problem started when I read on the internet about vaping could cause difficulty breathing and I started feeling heavy breathing then I thought that there is a problem with my heart finally I thought that I have anxiety and stress that causing my difficulty breathing all the day but I think it is not from anxiety. My heart beat fast and uncomfortable and I breathe like half breathe. I feel really anxious and stressed because of that. I did echo test, ECG several times, spirometry test , blood test , X-ray several times and pules oximeter all of them came back normal.

I feel really bad after I eat and I feel my stomach is not comfortable at all and when I try to breathe throw Diaphragm the difficulty breathing increase. The food immediately goes back to my throat even water. There is a lot of gas in my stomach and no appetite for food at all. All what I think of are my stomach and breathing. Finally, when I move really slightly my heart beat faster and uncomfortably even when I stand up I feel bad and anxious. Al day I think about my heart and breathing. My blood pressure is normal also.

    It sounds like you may have a hiatus hernia, acid reflux and possibly gastritis. You need a gastroscopy to find out. Try drinking kefir yoghurt drink every day to help with the gas.
