 Question about dizziness and shortness of breath
Hi, I'm new here. I'm a 29 year old female that's had many problems since giving birth 4 months ago. I had postpartum pre-clampsia that left me on high blood pressure medicine and about 6 weeks after having the baby, I strarted the shortness of breath. The dizziness started about 1 week ago. I have had some chest pains that caused my chest to be sore to the touch, which I know can be caused by inflammation. I have some feelings of pressure in the neck some. What has me more worried then that is the shortness of breath and dizziness. I have saw 2 cardiologists and many other doctors. I've been through Ct scans of my chest and pelvis, a stress test with the x-rays, an upper Gi-series, blood work for blod clots and proof of heart damage, an echo, and several EKG's. Nothing significant showed up. No thyroid problems showed in the blood work either. The echo did show some small amounts of fluid around my heart and a slight weakness, which both cardiologists have said is probably left over from the pregnancy and pre-clampsia/ high blood pressure. They did find a hiatel hernia with some type of ring. I don't have heart burn, but lots of burping. This has all gave me a very big scare. I'm not sure what to think. I have had a few panic attacks after all this started which I'm sure has made whatever the problem is worse. I would like some opinions on this. I do have bad allergies, which may be causing the dizziness, but I'm just not sure. The doctor's say it's not heart related. Please help!
