Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You have recently experienced, fainting and dyspnea the last weeks, which may be a warning sign for life threatening cardiac problems.

I would like to suggest to go to ER to exclude any imminent life threatening emergencies. After that you may schedule to make the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- Blood work
- ECG
- Cardiac ECHO
- Stress test
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Chest x ray

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health
Dr. Shehu
