What Causes Headache And Breathing Difficulty?
Hi, Consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out cardiac causes also. It is better to get an echo test to rule out cardiac causes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
