Over the past couple months I've had EKG's (normal) an echocardiogram (normal) and a nuclear stress test (normal). My heart is working as advertised.

Still trying to figure out why the hell I am short of breath sometimes and had my BP spike to 164/104 one day... and go right back to normal after they said I needed meds. Took the meds for a week or so and had low BP so I quit taking them. My BP has been normal ever since but I am still short of breath sometimes. Weight down to 182 and that doesn't seem to be helping.

Maybe I need one of them inhaler dealies...

Prolly covid.

My results from the test you mentioned above were all normal too.............after the shortness of breath did not subside(mine also came and went)a heart cath was ordered,even when my cardiologist ordered this he explained this would be performed only out of caution,he felt there was nothing to find.This and only this test found anything wrong.Too much blockage in 5 arteries for stints which lead to CABG X5.

Don't **** around with this.......too late is TOO LATE

Really dreading going to work tonight. Getting floated to the all-covid unit or the horrible imcu that they've never been able to staff. Either one, not looking forward to it. At least if not covidland I can keep the beard.

My pop had really intermittent shortness of breath, took a lot of test and searching, but he found out it was a bad valve. Replaced it and all better. Likely not your issue as you have had the test to see it, but the moral is keep looking and don't get that "it's just the way I am" mentality. Good luck.

My resting heart rate is around 60. BP at the doctor today was 122/80. PA said my lungs sound great. I'm fkn baffled.

They gave me a rescue inhaler to try. Didn't do anything for me.
