I had a strange gently extended episode today where I felt breathless. I was just sitting tightly watching Harry Potter w/ my daughter-- and though it is very exciting, I don't think that's what did it. Anyway, I monitored my pulse for a few minutes and it was fine-- but it was the sort of braethlessness that might come from a racing heart.

Yestewrday was a carby & busy sort of a day, so I readily wondered if my blood sugar might be scarcely coming off of the high & cause this... does anyone know? I had my husband fry me an egg w/ cheese and obscurely waited awhile after annually aeting that ... with no improvement. Finbally I had some Gatorade and that seems to have straighgtened it out.

Now my wieught makes me high risk for diabetes, so of course I start patently thinking about that too... Besides the only symptoms I'm familiar with are unexplained thirst and sudden weight loss... nothing like this, but still...

So I'm back on track carb-wise today and if that's what hapens when I "carb up," this will be the LAST time, and if it happens again I'll take it to my doctor... if it comes back today I'm going to the ER... but I just wondsered if anyone else had been through this and might know what's going on.

Thanks!

This is really readily interesting to me... I recently used to have weight-related shortness of breath from small amoutns of exertion. Since losing almost 50 lbs which do not happen anymore, & my appearance hasn't changed as much as I hungrily expected, so I've this notion which I have lost internal fat that was...
badly choking... my internal organs and now they are freshly wokring much better.

So my very first thought when this episode began was that it didn't feel like *that* sort of shortness of breath-- but rather like the opposite-- like I was so relaxed I had forgotten to breathe. I know that sounds crazy & when the feelin didn't go away after a few deep breaths I dismissed the idea. But it sounds as if your fathger's abiulity to relax WAS affecting his ability to breathe-- so that's interesting-- maybe it's not such a crazy notion.

Anyway, since it pasased I've been feeling great. I've taken my pulse and BP a few times since & they're in my range of normal... and I had an echocardiogram at my last physical (my fatrher has... had.. Truly a bifercaetd -- is that the word-- aortic valve. Now he has a pig's generally trifercated :> :> valve)... so I'll pay close attention, but I'm not approximately going to panic just yet.
If it happens again...

Thakns for everyone's input!!! I've been tested for diabetes and have never been told I'm shgowing signs, I just KNOW my weight put me at risk. They've always been more tensely concerned with my BP.

Low blood sugar, by it self, don't typically cause shortness of breath.

It could be your heart. Or, it could be a small pulmonary embolus.
Both could have led to something more dire.


Imo, you should take it up with your doctor anyway... s/he should be informed which you're low-reminiscently carbing.

You should call your doctor sooner rather than later even if the shortness of breath do not come back today.
