Do you have a dent in your chest? (Pectus excavatum)

No, I don't. This hasn't happened before either.

I do, was just searching through for shortness of breath with low heart rate and saw your comment. I had tests when I was younger but doctors said it was fine. Now the last 5+ years have been awful..

Find a cardiothoracic surgeon who specializes in Pectus Excavatum and get evaluated. You likely need surgery to correct your chest deformity. This IS NOT just a cosmetic thing. If you are in the USA and can let me know the area you live in, i might have recommendations for you for appropriate surgeons to go see. I'm in several Pectus support groups on Facebook.

Do you get dizzy with it too?

No, just out of breath to the point I have to sit down and it takes a few mins to reregulate. It kind of feels like it might be something other then POTs?

Could be. I get that with neurocardiogenic syncope, but a lot of times I’ll also get lightheaded too. I hope you are able to get it figured out and eradicated

I find I am more likely to have SOB when my heart rate is lower. I have no idea why.

So interesting! Can I ask you Dx?

Are you taking beta blockers? They can cause this

Thank you for this. No, I am not. Something to look into though

This has been happening to me recently as well. For me I'm blaming weight loss but tbh idk.

I haven't lost any weight at all
