Hi,
Last week I suddenly strted to get palpitations in my chest and they have periodically upset my brething rythm (uncomfortaly rather than seriously) and caused me to feel like I needed to cough as a result.
These palpitations seemingly increase when driving, and at work (computer programmer) but seem to completely vanish when at home for the evening and going to sleep. I'm quite overweight, 220lbs @ 1.7m, aged 39, white, male. I'm "guessing" its work and/or stress related, but the worry of the condition is probably making it worse.
I've also noticed an excess of gas (at both exits of the body!) lately and being totally un-educated medically have no idea what is causing this.
I don't drink coffee and limit my tea intake to 3/4 cups per day. I have been stressed a little but not to the extent of feeling too upset - just financial worries from time to time - the usual.
Any idea what this might be ?
Regards - Paul.
