I've been having a breathing problem that started with feeling like I had a missed heartbeat. Now, every 15 to 20 minutes, I get this short spell where I have trouble breathing, like something is blocking my airway, just for a couple of seconds. I went to the doctor about six months ago, and they said it was nothing to worry about, but it's still happening. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I'm a bit worried about my recent health report. The doctor said I need an ECG before anesthesia, and the results mention a probable left atrial enlargement with a borderline ECG. I'm wondering what this means for my heart health. Should I see a cardiologist? Lately, I've been experiencing mild chest pains and numbness, and I'm a bit overweight, though my blood pressure is normal. I also have a fatty liver and occasionally notice shortness of breath. Do you think these symptoms are related?

Based on your symptoms and the findings in your ECG report, it is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The probable left atrial enlargement and borderline ECG findings may indicate underlying heart issues that need to be addressed. In the meantime, to help with your symptoms, you can take medications like Aspirin for chest pain (if not contraindicated) and Atorvastatin for high cholesterol. Additionally, to manage your fatty liver, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. For shortness of breath, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol as needed. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet to improve your overall health.
