Shortness of breath
by msrobin_1, May 16, 2009 08:57AM
Recently after giving birth to my son I have been experiencing shortness of breath along with a feeling of tightness in my chest as well as stomach pain. I have been to a heart doctor and all of my tests have come out normal. Could these be symptoms of acid reflux? Although I feel as if I am short of breath, my oxygen levels are anywhere between 97 and 100%.

I am glad you had an evaluation by a cardiolost. Some other problems may be lung related. After childbirth very rare problems with microscopic bloodclots in the lungs can cause this problem. The cardiologist may not have considered this possibility. Be sure to discuss your shortness of breath with you obstetrician ASAP. Other thing to consider are asthma acute brochitis and other lung infections. Also, if you are smoking, stop now ..please.
