Brief Answer:
Needs cardiac evaluation

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma’am

After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and well being and I would like to tell you that the symptoms which you have explained our very well suggestive of underlying cardiac issues as such kind of symptoms usually develop when the functioning capacity of the heart is reduced or there is significant valvular regurgitation causing the blood to create a back pressure over your lungs thereby creating shortness of breath.

So taking into consideration the current Scenario it’s highly advisable that you should personally consult a cardiologist and get a basic cardiac evaluation done which should include an ECG and an eco-cardiography of your heart.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
