What Could it be??

[gab08]

About a year n half ago, when I came back from a holiday abroad i was taken into hospital with a fast heart beat was over double what it should of been, since then this has happened a few times, sometimes it feels like its missing a beat. I had countless blood tests n a heart xray but they all came back fine, the docs just perscribed me beta blockers which I did not take because they said I didnt have to and I thought why take medication when you dont know what the problem is?!
I also sometimes feel out of breath, like i need to take a deep breath/yaw but I cant, this is happening alot recently and it feels like its taking over my life!
Yesterday was the worse, i had to heart palputations and shortenss of breath all at once, and felt really dizzy, I had to pull over because I was driving. I went to see the doctor yesterday afternoon and now they are saying the two may be linked, and Im having the same blood tests done again, which i feel is pointless because everything was fine last time so its obviously something else. But i dont understand how not being able to breath propper could be linked to my heart beating fast, because I dont always feel my heart pounding when i feel out of breath.
Any clue what it could be? or how i can at least take deep breaths properly untill my blood test results come back??

yer..theyve perscribed me inhalors, beta blockers, but just seems like they cant be bothered finding what is really wrong, I saw a different doctor yesterday and he was really helpfull, he said they need to do all the blood tests again just to rule out anything else, but he said it may be anxiety, but cant say for deffinate at this point. Ive just been putting off doing anything about is because Ive been before and they just seem to give you medication without even knowing whats wrong. My dad went with me yesterday because hes noticed me struggeling to take breaths, so it felt better that he could actually stick up for me n say look there is something wrong here.

Im smilin bearsized right now, im so glad you have support from your dad, amazing, amazing!!! Have you ever had any heart conditions in the past? ashma?... Im releived to know you have a more helpful doctor, as it is hard to find because in my opinion I think most take tthe title "md" as a write off to slack off on the duty of actually being a doctor when in reality they are the most essetional to this world in the workplace.  But I do have faith there are a few good ones out there and I hope that you've found one, which I beleive you did! Continue to strenghthen your mind throughout all of this and Ill be praying your tests go well! Im here....

i was given an inhalor when i was 16..but it wasnt because of ashma, they frt it was because of hayfeaver of allergic reaction because it came mostly in the summer...i think they just want a quick sollution really.

I was put on medication for it. It did help alot especially with the attacks. A generic prozac. It took about 2 weeks to really start working.
