What Causes Fatigue And Chest Heaviness After Having Cardiac Catheterization?

I recently had a cardiac catherization done. all cardiac tests are normal. I continue with fatigue, sweating, lack of energy, feel full in the chest, not feeling good. FBS is 90. my TSH is 10 but t4 normal. the doctor is not sure what is going on. I am finding it so hard to function normally.

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

as you mentioned your tests were normal and almost all is fine. But still you feel tired, fatigue, lack of energy etc

Since you have been visiting the cardiologist you can discuss to him about doing physical therapy.

Focussing on strengthening conditioning, Breathing exercises, core stabilitu etc will help.

Based on the symptoms what you have mentioned your metabolic activity might be slow, so that is the one reason for lack of energy, faigue, tiredness etc.

also you mentioned that you feel tightness in chest , for which you can perform regular breathing exercises which will help to have adequate oxygen in the lungs.

also core stability exercises will help you get good strength.

If the symptoms persists you can take advice from a cardiologist.

With the grace of God I wish you a good health.
