When is shortness of breath a concern?

[idagirl326]

I have been diagnosed with PVC's and PACs, which my doctor said was not dangerous.She never did any testing, such is a stress test to see if there was any obvious physical cause and she prescribed me metoprolol. Well I ran out of my prescription and it has been almost two weeks without it. I have had occasional symptoms but they are manageable so I have not taken my medication. I have noticed is that I get out of breath very easy, and when I check my pulse the rate is normal.The reason I mention this is because when I am having episodes my pulse will be fast and I will be short of breath.My question is, is if I get short of breath easily and my pulse is normal does that mean I am just out of shape? Or could it still be my heart?

Anytime you have SOB or chest pain with arrhythmias it should be evaluated by a physician. They should not cause you to be SOB, so I would get a second evaluation

Shortness of breath should always be evaluated by your doctor.
