shortness of breath in the mornings

[ChrissieMT]

I have paroxysmal AF, recently more frequent episodes. I have also recently had shortness of breath in the morning, along with a slight nausea, would this be associated with AF or could there be other underlying conditions. I am awaiting my 6 monthly check up with my cardiologist, goodness knows when this will be as it was due in June, my GP practice is very difficult to get appointments with so advice is not freely available.

I hope you've seen someone about the shortness of breath? Can you contact your cardiologists secretary and explain your symptoms? Maybe ask for a phone call. It could low blood pressure in the mornings or it could be something else. I am not qualified to say, but I would think it worth getting a medical opinion.

wishing you all the best
