Hello,
Here cardiac problem should be ruled out first as per history according to my opinion. Valvular disease, ischemic problem et cetera can also be the possibility.
Investigate with the following:
- CBC to rule out anemia
- EKG
- If needed 2D echocardiography
According to reports further management plan decided. If all reports are normal, then we will think further. Consult the pulmonologist for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
