What Causes Sleep Apnea, Shortness Of Breath, Cramping In Toes, And Dizziness?
Have shortness of breath while carrying groceries in. 65, hbp.type 2 diabetes.oa.fibro. new symptoms alone with sob is night sweats. Post menopausal, cramping in toes at night, restless legs sometimes and some diziness. Sleep apnea but don t use machine. Losing weight -15 lbs. Have had ct scan of lung found small granulomas crystalized? Now no asthma but was told 3 yrsago I had it hence inhalers. Now waitung on echocardiogram
At the age of 65, history of short breath causing difficulties in day to day work and night sweats indicates left ventricular failure most likely. An EKG, X-ray chest with 2D echo of heart including valvular, chamber functioning are mandatory to proceed for the final diagnosis and management guidelines.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
