Scary chest tightness that comes in waves and shortness of breath that follows,

Posted , 11 users are following.

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms. I have been having episodes of chest tightness followed by shortness of breath and a weird weakness in my legs and body. it is like a sudden electricity sensation in my whole body and I know it is coming and I'm so weak even to walk. my head also feels heavy, have difficulty to keep my eyes open. I went to ER like 3 times and they said my heart is doing okay. I started getting my periods every 15 days about a year and half ago. last month my dr tested my FSH and said it is in menopausal range. I cannot even work or do anything, and doctors don't know what to do. im so depressed 😦

thank you for any advice!

    i feel the same, especially in the last few days . I also have muscle spasms and inner shaking . I've gad these symptoms for close to a year. I'm in the menopausal stage. 49 years old. I saw three neurologists one brain MRI, nothing conclusive. Going out of my mind.

      I experience the spasms and shaking too, I thought I was going to have a heart attack or something, this is scary! I am so sorry you are going through this since a year!! is there anything that can help with this or lessen the sufferings? I consulted a homeopathic dr in India and he has recommended some medicines which I will be trying

      Hi, I'm in perimenopause and have chest congestion and tightness. Blocked sinus and dry mouth. I can't sleep much. My doctor checked my chest but says it's clear, but I feel like there's something in my lungs. Huh, not sure about it. It's been ongoing for quite some years now.

      It's scary and drive my anxiety level high. I'm not sure what is wrong with me.

      I want to ask my doctor to do a chest xray so I know for sure as I'm making myself sick with worry.
