Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome back to HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to vitamin D dficiency.
Overweight and lack of physical activity can also cause all this clinical situation.
Anyway, I would recommend performing some other tests to exclude other possible causes:
- a chest X ray study and respiratory function tests to exclude a possible lung disorder
- a cardiac ultrasound to examine your cardiac function and structure
- thyroid hormone levels to exclude possible thyroid dysfunction.
If all the above tests result normal, you have nothing to worry about.
In such case, I would recommend taking vitamin D supplements and peform a lot of physical activity (walking, yoga, aerobics, recreational sports) to help you stay in a good physical shape (in order to increase your physical performance).
Losing some pounds and stop smoking would also be really helpful.
Hope to have been helpful!
If you have any other uncertainties, please do not hesitate to ask me!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
