Hi. I'm in a big crash currently and I'm starting to experience alot of shortness of breath but my pulse is a good ten beats slower than usual and with air hunger I've experienced in the past I've had a faster pulse. It is also a different kind of air hunger to anything else I've known. Just wondering if this is normal as I'm worrying about my heart as the crash I'm in started after a bad reaction to amitryptyline. Spoke to my gp and just get fobbed off with the usual crap. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think the tricyclics are known for the heart thing--i tried them all and even doxepin made mine race, when I was in my early 30s with no history of diagnosed heart probs at time
mine went away when I went off of them
altho I suspected mitral valve prolapse --not sure if spelled that right
if you are worried you are having a dangerous heart situation tho I would call nurse on call or go to er
