Are Night Sweats Normal Having Undergone Angioplasty?

Hi, i m a 53 yrs old male - i had a n MI 14 years ago & have been on heart meds since then. I had angioplasty at the time - no recurrance since. I feel tired & feverish in the evenings, i sometimes get night sweats as well. I am also starting t get involuntary muscle spasms / cramps in my legs after a days work on the beat as a policeman. There are times when i also feel very tired & drained after work that i dont feel i doing anything else. Is there something wrong with me . . .? or is this normal for someone my age & history of MI.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are not typical of MI.

For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate the possible causes underlying your complaints:
- a cardiac ultrasound to examine your heart
- a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels to investigate for possible peripheral arteriopathy
- blood electrolytes
- complete blood count for anemia
- vitamin B12 and vitamin D plasma levels for a possible deficiency.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
