A member asked:
What causes a very brief period of time that i get dizzy and short of breath and pulse goes up to about 140 just sitting there doing nothing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go see your doctor: You may be describing atrial fibrillation or a non-specific paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Regardless, you need to be evaluated, sooner than later, especially if you get dizzy & short of breath. Do not delay and then pass out!
