shortness of breath and fatigue with dizziness Posted: 09-29-05 18:24pm
I'm 16, and i've been to two doctors this
week. The first one I guess thought I had
some sort of asthma or something, he put
me on clarithromicyn or something like
that and ventilin (puffer) for 5 days,
which did not work worth crap. Then told
me to go and see my family doctor before
the week was over. So I went to see him
today, and he said there is nothing wrong
with me. - I think he's an fool - at
least I don't think this is normal.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows what
these symptoms might mean:
i'm short of breath alot. You know when
you take in that deep breath and all that
air feels good? Well I can't do that, and
when I do it's a really quick deep breath
that comes out of nowhere - then i'm back
to being short of breath again. I also
have some really bad heart pains - very
short - seems like an eternity but in
logical guessing...Between 10 and 30
seconds, but it's so bad that I have to
hold my breath and not move at all until
it subsides or it sends out a really
really really painful jolt. Also, i'm
constantly fatigued, even if I get a good
sleep...And have these episodes of I guess
"dizziness." it's where everything just
goes completely blurry like everything is
just moving around to random places really
fast, then my head starts painfully
pounding, and it seems that my ears get
more sensitive to the sounds around me,
like everything sounds more clear and is
echoing. Sometimes I just need to close
my eyes for a couple seconds, other times
it's so bad that I end up on the floor
with a pounding headache before I even
realise what happened.
These all seem to be out of nowhere, they
don't have any pattern to them, just
happen randomly.
Does anyone know what it would be? Or if
I should go to another doctor....?

If I had symptoms like yours I would go to
the er. They could be heart related.
Sounds like you need a cardiac work up to
see if anything is wrong with your heart.
Don't mean to scare you but chest pain
and shortness of breath with fatigue could
be serious.

I am 21 years old and I have been having
some kind of fleeting chest pain ( pain
that would only last for a couple of
seconds, then stop, and then start again
over and over for about 10, as if it is
with each heart beat). They happen at
almost any time but seem to happen more
often at night. As well I have been
getting the feeling of not getting enough
air which can also happen at any time.
The chest pain and the feeling of not
getting enough air do not happen at the
same time. On top of that, I feel
pressure in my chest from time to time and
a strange feeling in my neck/throat.
I have had my blood pressure checked,
listened to with a stethascope several
times, a couple of electrocardograms, and
and exercise stress test. The doctors I
have seen believe that the problem is not
my heart but are unable to tell me what
they think it is. Needless to say it is
extremly frustrating and I have been
living with this for about 5 months. If
you go see the doctor again, please let me
know what happens.

I've had similar symptoms, shortness of
breath and fatigue (but instead of chest
pains i've had tachycardia) for almost a
year. Doctors have ruled out everything
serious and it has recently been
discovered that I have several hormone
problems which could be related. What set
this off is unknown, however it's
suspected that I have some kind of metal
poisoning and i'm going to get that
checked out as soon as i'm off my
medication.
Metal poisoning can be related to many
illnesses. Because your body can't get
rid of the metals, it stresses out your
adrenals and hormones making everything
out of balance. It may not be what you
have, but if everything else fails you
might as well get checked for it.
Also, you can try seeing a naturalpath.
Usually they can do a bunch of tests to
find out exactly whats wrong with you.
Hope your feeling better soon.
