What Can Be Done For Dizziness, Tiredness, Tingling And Numbness In Lower Extremities?
iI have a history of valve leak mild. For 3 weeks I have had unrelenting pressure chest pain on the left side. Nothing relieves it. I have been told recently by my endocrogilits that I am at risk to have a heart event. The pain won't go away its heavy sometimes pinching. I went to a vascular surgeon today had ecco and bubble heart test and ekg the results of the latter test are not known. Heart disease and stroke killed all of my Father's ancestors several of my siblings also have had stents and bypasses. The unrelenting pain is very troublesome I am afraid that the recent surgeon is taking this to lightly. I am diszzy, tired all the time., tinglingly and numbness in my lower extremities heart flutters. I have Hypertension, high chlosterol what can I do . I elieve my valve is leaking worst than ever. The vascular surgeon said he didn't think I was having a heart attack. Other than waiting on results of the Ecco and Bubble test what can I do.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.
Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query
your symptoms and family history are highly suggestive of coronary heart disease or heart attack in the simple language. i think you should get to a cardiologist immediately and request a coronary angiography. get this done as soon as possible
there are other possibilities too, but they are not so prognostically significant. therefore i mention them later. they may be
1. gastritis
2. muscular pain
3. skeletal pain
4. fibromyalgia
but coronary artery disease needs to be ruled out before considering the rest
I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.
I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
