How to tell if your breathlessness is being caused by a heart problem

I walk 8-10 miles/day - no breathlessness unless I am walking at elevation or up a steep hill; I DO get breathless upon exertion - lifting a heavy ladder, etc. I also get breathless when I bend over at the waist (90 degrees) to put the harness on my dog. I have watched your videos on POTS... I have to watch further, as I didn't see a remedy. I had an echo and it showed my heart is structurally normal with no valve problems. I am scheduled for a Heart Flow Analysis (vs. the nasty Angiogram w/dye) in the next month, so we shall see what that says. I am seeing my cardiologist in two days and am going to mention the breathlessness and ask for a chest xray, just to rule things out. Keep up the great work - we all appreciate your knowledge and empathy.

@@turbompson4546 The cardiologist would not give me a referral for either of these things; he did give me a referral to an electrophysiologist. In the meantime I've started taking d-Ribose to the effects of "calcium leaking outside the cells" - within the heart. I don't know if I have this, but a recent DEXA scan shows some bone loss (even though I was a daily runner for 47 years and still walk as noted above)... my belief is that the calcium that I ingest is not being "absorbed into the bones" - and could be floating around where it doesn't belong. In addition, I'm now taking K2 to drive the calcium into the bones, and potassium (to balance out the calcium)

About six months ago I started having extreme breathlessness in the early morning hours around 02.00-03.00 (in the morning). On the third morning I actually hyperventilated and could not sleep. I went to the ER and had all the relevant testing. They finally gave me an inhaler as I requested in the first place and I left with a follow up appointment. I was looking at my blood work results and found I was very anemic. They never even mentioned this to me. It has taken months of increasing my iron intake via diet, food combining to help absorption and supplementation (also breathing exercises). Feeling very well now. I also bought a jump rope to use during the day as my work is centered around the computer. My point is look at your blood tests. If there isn't enough oxygen in your RBCs damage and death can happen. Thank you for your video 🙂

I can relate to you all. I am short of breath and it all started 9 months ago. Seen a pulmologist, cardiolist, and some many trips to the PC. Lungs are fine, they did all kinds of test my lungs check out good. I do have AFIB but only occasionally after much study and research I don't think its my heart causing it but it could be. The labored breathing is such a mystery I can't figure it out. I am fit I walk miles every day and not out of breath. I had a stress test done (2 hours) on the treadmill everything was near perfect. Even now as I type when I take a deep breath every 2 or 3 breaths dont' seem to fill the lungs but I can breathe. It is so strange to try to find the cause. Could be plain ole anxiety. I lost my wife 5 years ago and my son 3 years ago lots of stress and the pros say stress is aculmulative it never leaves you you just manage it throughout your lifetime. I deep breathe this sometimes helps. Its like something in either my gut or diaphram is causing it. Still looking for answers. The docs don't know what it is, they just tell me what it IS NOT..more or less. My minerals I take daily I have a great diet I walk I do all the things you are supposed to do. I many never find out but I will not stop trying.

Same here. I am looking under every fucking rock right now. So far I have found out for me specifically, that it might be an anxiety attack in work. I am getting off caffeine right now and I'm reading that anxiety can be a major issue when quitting caffeine. It also might be connected to exhausted adrenal glands which is typical when you consume caffeine heavily. Most of the anxiety symptoms prove right for me so I think this is something I need to figure out. Can also be COPD, but in my case, I have no mucus and when I distract myself in bed with watching something or reading, then suddenly it's back to normal. So, I just read/ watch myself to sleep as a temporary treatment until I figure how to fix the stress or deficiencies that I might have...

I suppose you are either born and raised in the U.K. Or rather you moved in to U.K when you were a kid either way, apart from the Video been very informative, I simply loved the beautiful British Accent that you have acquired..it was lovely to listen to you when you explained in detail about all aspects of breathlessness. Look forward for many more useful videos from you Docter, as and when time permits.. God Bless you. Z

Thank you Doctor. I use to get breathlessness and gasping almost every minute to get some breath. i kept waking up every few minutes on sleep gasping for air due to stopped breathing midsleep, that it really scares me as i hardly sleep for a week as IM afraid to die midsleep not breathing. But it doesnt affect my exercise especially football or futsal (as its actually a lung demanding sport) instead i only feel better when im doing sport. Then i realized Its actually Acid reflux disease instead of heart disease. Then i fix my eating schedule i also take medication like sucralfate. But i think the one that helps me the most is doing jogging almost every morning and afternoon. I really get the getting better feeling from doing that. Rn im much healthier even tho sometimes i also still get breathlessness but its coming just from my anxiety. And this video helps me get through it. Thank you do

After taking ciprofloxacin for a UTI in 2014 I immediately developed breathlessness on exertion which I never had before being someone who was previously fit enough to already know their VO2 max(it was 52). I had a fitness echo done before with normal heart function at 192 bpm. They did an echo after i screamed telling them my problem isnt fucking anxiety for months. The new echo showed some leakage in multiple valves, namely the mitral valve. After another few months of severe dyspnea on exertion I got them to do a stress test on me where it said my VO2 max was 38. I told them there is no way that is normal because they didnt believe me that it was 52 before and said im “just out of shape”. I also told them I had normal heart valves prior which wasnt the case now and again they said it wasnt a thing. After a couple years of back n forth where I keep telling them something is seriously wrong they do a PFT which showed hyperexpanded lungs with mildly reduced diffusion rate. Again they said it was “normal” despite the symptoms. I honestly gave up. I felt betrayed and lost trust in doctors. In 2018 I passed out after a walk at work and they called 911 and I got admitted. I had mild left atrial hypertrophy and a low cardiac output. They think much of it and discharged me. 6 months later I had another echo because they didnt know what was wrong with me but I presented saying i was having issues. Finally this time the echo showed low grade diastolic dysfunction. Since then it has gotten moldly worse as well. Diastolic dysfunction in a thin 30 year old male. Yeah okay Doctors I think you mighta missed something major. My dad doesnt even have diastolic dysfunction at 65. Anyway thats my story doctors really do make shit up if there isnt blatant lab findings despite your story and if you ever sound at all anxious then suddenly that is the most important issue, nothing else. They really are a complete fucking joke. I used to bike 20 miles a day and play drums for hours never having any didficulty. Now if I walk up 4 flights of stairs I feel breathless for literally an hour afterward. Nothing I have tried has made it better. Ciprofloxacin is poison and it damaged my heart in a bad way.

I'm having similar issues right now. I used to be a wrestler & personal trainer, have not been able to work & have been fighting for my life back so i can get back to work. I've been er about 40 times this year for shortness of breath, chest pain & pain in my limbs. Doctors saying I'm too young(24), it must be anxiety, I never knew most doctors were like this(complete utter fools) I have not been able to exercise for a year & I tell them it's progressively getting worse & they done a ct scan of my heart & found a myocardial bridging, this still doesn't raise concerns for them... They make you feel like you're crazy & they make you feel like not going to the hospital regardless of your symptoms. No one knows our own body like we do, never give up & trust your gut.

[@IamHardtokill]

@@vanguardoftruth4166 no but beginning of last year I caught some kind of virus & couldn't walk for 2 months(using a zimmerframe)(wasn't covid). Was admitted in hospital for 2 week last year, drs couldn't find out what was wrong with me. Drs now suspect i had enterovirus but no one knows for certain. They're also led to believe this virus triggered the myocardial bridge in my heart to cause symptoms.

[@Romelle81]

I have had it when I bend my head down when I'm sitting. It rarely happens, but is still kinda scary to think it could be serious. I also have neck strain from looking at my phone, or computer for hours. It's hard to avoid because I work on a computer all day. I also have had problems where I wake up feeling like i forgot to breath in, or something. But it's not as bad as before, when I would wake up several times a night. Now it will only happen once. It could all be stress related.....I've never had any problems when exercising

[@honourgardiner902]

I discovered cucumber was causing me breathlessness. Took me over a year to figure it out!😂 (It was only when I was on holiday and didn't have salad with my meals). Also dairy, peppers, potatoes, aubergines...deadly nightshade family were also causing it. It go so bad (before I realised the cause) and the docs were just prescribing me betablockers (I didn't take them). I do suffer from anxiety, but I was getting panic attacks daily and usually after eating. Standing up and having a little walk (even in the house) can help, and to avoid foods that you think might be causing problems. Nowadays I rarely have panic attacks thankfully!

[@sherrylouise9495]

My husband had Long QT syndrome that went undiagnosed until his autopsy. He also had asthma so in hindsight I often wonder how many instances of breathlessness were heart related rather than asthma.

[@christianaparish1185]

I’ve had an Echocardiogram, Pulmonary Lung Function Test, Stress Test, all came back normal aside from a PFO found in my heart but small that it’s non-issue. I’m in my mid twenties, and was pretty active, but now I’m getting breathless the second I stand up and do light activity, I start getting winded from doing basic things I use to do no problem. The past 9 months, it’s progressively gotten worse. Nobody seems to find answers for me. I’m scared. I stay home with my two toddlers, so getting winded this easily concerns me a lot. Any advice and or tips? I’ve gone to the ER several times chest X-rays always normal, ekg always normal. I’m at a loss. I always feel like I can’t get a full deep breath in. I only feel normal while sitting at rest. I hate that I find myself sitting more because anytime I do anything light, I get winded and my heart pounds until I sit again. Ugh. I’ve been crying so much lately, because I just want to feel normal again and or have answers. My kiddos need a healthy momma again. Thanks for listening.

[@christianaparish1185]

@@SolidGeddoe See I have bad Acid Reflux that I take medication for to help regulate it. I don’t notice a big improvement from that either. But I’ve never felt this breathless before. Any light activity (reading to my kids, doing laundry, washing dishes, walking around for a little bit, etc.) I feel like I’m breathless and my heart pounds. It’s so weird. I’m 110lbs and fairly active, so I shouldn’t be getting this winded. I know your mind is a very powerful thing, and can do many things but geez.. this is brutal and want to figure out a solution. I don’t know much about Anxiety, can it really cause so much breathlessness ALL DAY? 🥺

No chest pains lately but I had weird flutters and feeling sensation in heart recently. I'm going for a heart EKG for my Suboxone treatment and I do have left ventricular hypertrophy as well. I'm afraid I'm have something seriously wrong in my heart . Come to think of it I'm catch my breath alot lately even at rest , something is wrong. Thank you and I'm Go for EKG soon.

The reason why I ask I was taking bisoprolol and it was causing breathlessness. When I stopped taking it my breathing improved. My cardiologist mentioned this can happen in a small percentage of people. I’m not saying to stop taking your medicine but it’s worth looking into and asking your doctor.
