General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. You complaints may be related to a cardiac condition. You should undergo a cardiac evaluation. For this you need some blood tests like CBC, fasting lipid profile, fasting sugar profile, ECH and Stress test or echocardiography as indicated.
I suggest you should consult a cardiologist and get yourself evaluated. Once a diagnosis is made then a comprehensive management plan may be formulated for you which may include dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, physical activity, medications or even some intervention.
