I get short of breath very easily (just 10 mins walking, doing 20 pushups etc). Do I have Heart Disease?

go to the doc and ask for a stress test.. you should'nt get short of breath so easily... it could be heart related but could also be anxiety related too.. go get it checked out!

There is a strong chance you may be having a heart attack.  Take an aspirin. The aspirin is to thin the blood and helps your heart.  If you develop shortness of breath, call 911.

The rule of thumb is this...If you have chest pain, get to a doctor or hospital for EKG and blood tests immediately.  If it is not heart problems....GRRREAT!  If it is, you need to be treated quickly.  Anxiety can cause similar symptons as an MI and if you blow off your discomfort as nothing but anxiety....it may be the last thing you do.  A heart attack does damage to your heart...you only have one heart, do NOT diagnose your own problem!

There are many symptoms that should send you to the doctor. All of which have been listed. Shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, etc. My 78 year old dad has congestive heart failure and his heart is extremely enlarged at this point. There are several medications that can be taken to help ease the symptoms, but should be noted that there is NO cure for this problem! There are things you can do so slow congestive heart failure down, but it IS a fatal condition. Below is a link that has a lot of good information on it. I read thru quite a bit of it after my dad was diagnosed. His was also, by the way, caused from excessive drinking. There are many other causes for the disease though.

you're probably anaemic. get your blood tested and take iron supplements (not more than one pill a day) if required. if your iron is down, it diminishes the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood thus explaining the tiredness.\n also, drink more water. the lower the water intake, the lower the recycling of water and higher the occurance of shortness of breath.\n for instant energy, glucose helps...but it only provides a short burst of energy.\n what you also need 2 do is to build your stamina so you dont tire as easily. best option is cardio (any form of exercise/activity that raises your heart rate).\n breathing exercises very important as they help increase your lung-capacity and thus help you sing long notes without getting breathless. they key i PRACTICE. preferably under supervision\n and last but not the least, ALWAYS 20 mins of warm-up b4 you begin serious dancing and 20mins of cool-down after you're done.

You need to see a doctor, and they will probably either:\n1)Put a 24-hour heart monitor on you if it happens daily.\n2)Put an event recorder on you that you can keep for up to one month to capture the fast heartrate and see what it looks like.\n\nIf you do not have any symptoms such as shortness of breath, low blood pressure, or dizziness during it, that's good.  Still need to find out what it is.\n\nI would see a cardiologist or electrophysiologist, who specializes in abnormal heart rhythms.  They are experts in this stuff.

I don't think it asthma, I think it is a build up of co2 (carbon dioxide) the reason is, you blood is pumping faster while you exert energy, if your breathing rate is not in tune with your heart rate, then your capularies(in your lungs) will absorb the CO2 that is residual in your lungs from your last exhale, there fore building up CO2 levels in your blood. Breath deeper and slower, and decrease your heart rate to fix this. You will be in no immediate danger unless you continue to run for an extended period of time. Its a similar effect from scuba diving.

Getting tired easily can be different things. the type of work you do can influence it. It can be your lifestyle though which I think is the problem. I would suggest you take a blood test (Hb). The amount af blood you have can be a reason as oxygen is being ciculated though the red blood cells in the blood. So if you blood is low it can be the cause. This can be due to the foods you eat or an underlying medical condition. \n\nif you are an asmathic or have a problem with some type of lung disease can be another reason. It is a point of concern and you should go and get a medical checkup.\n\nEat food rich in iron and avoid strenous workk and walking or running long distances for the meantime. get at least 8 hours or more sleep for the day and avoid staying up late at night if possible.\n\nHope I helped

Stop the jogging and go to a doctor.  \n\nThere is not enough information to give an answer here.  \n1) Do you smoke?\n2) How long have you been jogging or is this new?\n3) Do you have any prior medical history with chest heart or lung?\n4) Does the pain go away quickly after you stop or take hours?\n5) Family history of heart or lung disease?\n6) Are you over weight?\n6) Are you diabetic?\n7) Are you taking medications?

If you don't run alot that can happen its not because of your allerigies  its how much in shape you heart lungs and whole body is. That happened to me i ran alot and i don't normally run that much so it made me sick and totally out of breath    if you were to run a lttle bit all the time and not just run once every 4 months your running would be better

As you exercise, your heart pumps harder and faster to compensate for the increase in oxygen intake and removal of toxins in your body (i.e. breathing). If you have a weak heart, it might not be able to keep up, and it will either pump too hard, stop pumping entirely, or skip a beat and then tries to catch up, causing a major coronary.

possibly poor circulation?

I think that the blacking out and heart speeding/slowing are definetly anxiety attacks/panic (to some degree) attacks. \nAll of the things you just decribed can be attributed to stress, whether it is just a persistent small amount you deal with daily or a huge amount that was just dropped on you. \nEither way, you may want to see a doctor as that would be the quickest and easiest solution.\nIf you want to try some home remedies first, try taking a day off from doing anything. Stay at home and take a warm shower, sleep late, do yoga, take a walk.\nIf the weather is nice and not that cold by you yet, you could try doing a jog in the morning before going where you need to go. Excersize helps release stress and you'd be surprised how much a habitual 10 minute walk can help you.

Hypochondria with a terminal case of can't spellitus\n\nI just read your other question concerning your heart problem. Hyperventilation, palpitations, numbness in the are & I would bet your hands go numb & cold. They also probably curl up & cramp. You are most likly having a severe anxiety attack. The hyperventilation causes the numbness & anxiety atacks often mimick heart atacks.\n\nLet me know if I guess right about the symptoms you did not list...just curious.\n\nOK...read some more of your posts & decided that I was right to start with. You are an ID**T.

Heart palpitations could mean any number of things.  A complete medical history would be needed in order to even get close to figuring out why you are having them.  Plus someone would need to know more information regarding the palpitations themselves (do they only happen when you raise up or lie down fast, do you have any other symptoms associated with them such as shortness of breath, etc).  The best thing you can do is contact your doctor and get a complete physical examination.  They can then determine if the problem is serious based on blood work, EKG, and the physical examination.  Only your doctor can decided what tests are need and if there is a problem.

You should just have regular echo cardiograms to monitor the health of your heart.  Some people with a bicuspid aortic valve get narrowing.  The narrowing will cause shortness of breath or chest pain with activity.  If you don't have that problem than there are no limitations and sex is just fine.  Have fun!

I feel faint all the time. It is caused by asthma, and not getting enough oxygen to your brain. You should be checked by a doctor.
