Chest Heaviness - Head pressure Posted: 04-14-08 04:44am
Hello,
Im 22 and eat hea;thy, dont smoke, dont
really drink and dont have tea or coffee.
10 days ago i was playing badminton and 50
mins into it I had to sit out for 5
minutes because my heart was beating
really fast and i became light headed.
After 5 minutes i got up and carried on
playing.
Ever since then i have had a dull
heaviness in my chest and recently my head
has been feeling quite pressurised. There
is no pain in the chest, but sometimes
when i focus quite hard or sometimes after
i eat, I become a little light headed.
Does anyone know whats happening?? I had
an ECG and the results came back not quite
normal and I am going for an Ecco tomorrow
to look at the structure at the heart.
Does anyone know of a virus that might be
causing this?
Some viral infections (Coxsackie,
Influenca, Enteroviruses, Parvovirus,
Adenoviruses, CMV...) can cause
myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation)
that can be manifested with chest pain,
heart rhythm irregularity (beside other
symptoms), hard breathing... Miocarditis
can be also caused by other infections
(Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Borelia,
Streptococcus...) and autoimmune disease.
Can you tell me precisely what was the
ECG-report?
What were the laboratory results for ALT,
AST, LDH, CP-MB, troponin...?
Echo-cardiography and chest X-ray image
can be requested for precise diagnosis.
