What can these symptoms mean? I am a 22 yr. old female.?

Question:

I already have a pacemaker,pots syndrome, heart arrhythmias, right to left intrapulmonary shunt, asthma,ibs,chronic uti and sinusitis's. I am going to see a pulmonary hypertension specialist in 1 month. I have been waiting 4 months. Chest pressure and pain, dizziness epescially standing upright, shortness of breath with any excertion, and tightness in throat, and weakness.

Answers:
I'm just a layman, but it sounds like the dyspnea that you are describing is related to the pots. If your doctor is not providing you a tailored treatment plan for it, with regular adjustments for what does and does not work, then you probably ought to find a second opinion. The specialist that you plan to see next month might be able to help in this regard.

Cardio rehab might be a good idea, too. After all of this, you would probably benefit from exercise in a monitored and safe environment. And if you have a good program, you'll learn a lot about how to care for your heart. My wife attended cardio rehab after her cardiomyopathy diagnosis, and it was a real eye opener for her.

Good luck!

Get a second opinion right away...
