A member asked:

It feels like someone is standing on my chest, short of breath + irregular heart beat, with my history, what do u think?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I will say that you: Should get evaluated to r/o another episode of pulmonary embolism and possibly angina and congestive heart failure. Are you taking your coumadin (warfarin)? Are you therapeutic in your inr? Do you have an inferior vena cava filter placed in the past?
