What Causes Fatigue And Sore Throat?

Last friday i went into a medcheck for low energy and sore thraot. They did a check xray and found my heart was enlarged. I am going to follow up with my doctor but my appointment in a week and a half. My question is my chest is tight but i dont know if because of the broncitis or the enlarged heart. My other systems are pulse is the high 90 and my oxegen has been hovering 94 95%. Do i need to try and get in earlier then my apointment ?

Hi,

As per your brief history, there can be a problem in the heart due to infection which is located in the throat. Sore throat is a bacterial infection that sometimes can lead to heart problems and chest pain. Therefore, patients may have high blood pressure, pulse, irregular heart beat or enlarged heart.

Infections often lead to weakness and fatigue. However, to tell precisely whether it is all due to sore throat or other problems as well, I suggest you to get yourself examined by a cardiologist so that your problem can be properly identified and addressed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soheel Hussain Zargar, Dentist
