Shortness of breath... I think?I'm not entirely sure this constitutes as shortness of breath... Occasionally, out of the blue, I get a feeling in the middle of my chest. It's like getting the wind knocked out of me, but not quite as severe. At the same time there is a fluttering sensation, a pulsation.
It had been happening to me months ago randomly. I saw my doctor about it and he set me up with chest x-rays and an EKG. Nothing was unusual then. Now it is happening more frequently, maybe 5-10 times a day. Sometimes it's when I'm thinking about something that makes me anxious, so naturally I thought maybe it was a panic attack. But it actually happens more often than not when I'm perfectly calm, listening to music or watching a movie.
I'm overweight and don't get much exercise(in the process of changing this), I live a fairly sedentary lifestyle. Is there any non-serious reason for this particular issue? Does this sound like the typical definition of "shortness of breath" or am I having heart palpitations or something similar?
I do plan to see my doctor soon, but it would be nice to hear from someone familiar with these symptoms for some temporary information.
I rarely take aspirin, a vitamin supplement is basically all I take. My doctor has mentioned a few times that my blood pressure is a bit high, but always thought it was related to my anxiety.
Thanks for the responses, I'll definitely see a doctor.

Do you take a lot of asprin? If so that will delete red blood cells and make you anemic which will also cause shortness of breath.
Take some IRON tablets if you take asprin....
What about blood pressure....how is that?
Other than that...and INCLUDING THIS..I would see a doctor soon and see what is going on. YOUR Life and health is EXTEMELY important. You do not want a stroke or something that leaves you dependent on ANYONE for everything.
Please take care...
