Dear sir/madam, Yes these symptoms are related to heart attack and decrased pumping capacity of heart ( which occurs due to damage to the heart ). Get echocardiogram to assess heart function, after that medicines can be titrated. Restrict salt and fluid ( preferrably less than 1 ltr per day ). Follow up with nearest cardiologist.
