I have had a bad head ache in my right temple area for just about 17 hours now. but along with this head ache i and getting very breathless. after walking up the stairs i have to sit because i am just gasping to catch my breath. when my head ache goes away i dont have this problem. i have had this same head ache before. but never with shortness of breath. the head ache isnt a bad one. im not like in any relly bad pain or anything like that. i dont even need to take anything for it its pretty mild. but i am getting relly out of breath after moving around. and it seems to be directly related to this head ache. what could couse this? i know you are probly going to tell me to go to the dr. but i'm unemployed with no insurance so im not going to. i just want to know if i should be worried. or if this is normal. i alredy have problems with my heart rate.. been suffering from that for over 2 years now. this is diffrent from that. this has never happend before. but i usually dont ever get head aches either so. educate me. is it normal for a head ache to cause shortness of breath, even if its only mild pain?
