Suggest Remedy For Shortness Of Breath, Fatigue And Severe Headache
Question: How can I tell if I have a heart blockage. I have gone from never getting warm to sweating profusely,no energy ,shortness of breath, severe headaches.
Brief Answer:
Symptoms unspecific, general checup and ekg advisable to find cause
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
the symptoms you are describing are very uspecific and may have many different reasons. "Heart blockage" is not an exact medical term, if you mean heart attack then i can assure you that your symptom are not typical for that, even though it is not possible to find out just by the symptoms for sure.
Before speculating too much:
in your case iw would usually do a examination, draw blood for routine checkup like liver, kidney, thyroid and white/ red blood count to narrow down internal med. conditions as possible cause.
Also i would do an ekg to do a basic heart check just to make sure. Further decisions can be made depending on the findings in above examinations.
Best regards
