Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I have recently started under the care of the cardiology department and have so far been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. I have had a 24hr monitor and am awaiting a tilt table test. I have dizziness on standing up and if standing still, overstretching or if in pain. This leads to passing out occasionally - about twice a week. I get pains in the middle of my chest and have until recently been out of breath after any physical exertion. In the last week this has got much worse and I am now struggling to breath normally when resting and I find it very difficult to sleep as it gets worse when laying flat. I don't want to bother the cardiologist if it's unneccessary but I am getting worried about the worsening of my problems. Do you have any advice Many Thanks Katheryn
