Why do I experience severe palpitations and breathlessness attacks?
Patient's Query
What causes severe paroxysmal palpitations with breathlessness attacks affecting quality of life and depriving me from sleep? If all tests are normal: t3 t4 tsh electrolytes and cbc and d dimer and ecg and echo normal? I am long term user of oral contraceptive marvelon.
Answered by Dr. Bhaskar Semitha
Having intense heart palpitations and shortness of breath is frightening. All your exams looked good, but Marvelon, your birth control pill, could be causing these episodes. You must discuss this problem with a gynecologist and consider alternate contraceptives. Switching might help reduce symptoms and enhance your well-being.
