Hi,

Your symptoms are not typical for any cardiac problem. However, I suggest to do an ECG and cardiologist consult can be done to exclude cardiac problems.

I suggest to go for an ultrasound of the abdomen and X-ray of the chest to exclude other problems such pneumonia, cholecystis problems, etc.

Thank you.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

See an Internist / get yourself examined / at times, more investigation may be necessary...
ASO is just an indicator of recent streptococcal infection…
The limited information provided is not sufficient enough to arrive at an appropriate conclusion / you have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender...


Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
