Talk to General Practitioner on Heart Palpitations And Shortness Of Breath

person-avatar

Asking for Self, Male, 28 years old, Lahore

I was diagnosed with GERD and panic attack disorder over 4 years ago. I've learned to live with it but I'm not able to run or lift heavy objects, basically anything that makes the heart work harder. Every time I try, I'm forced to stop because of serious heart palpitations and shortness of breath. A really scary moment.

I guess it's a mental block but I'm unable to overcome it. It's extremely frustrating for me. I'm not sure if I should see a cardiologist or a psychologist. Please advise, thank you.

Any investigations, Chest X ray, BP, ECG?

If everything is clear especially ECG, no significant findings in investigations, then its all due to GERD.. For It, use
Tab Cemit (thrice a day),
Tab Risek 40mg (before Breakfast),
Tab Laxotinal ( At night)
Syrup Gaviscon ( 2 tsf after meal)
