Hi welcome to hcm
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of congenital heart disease.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo ,lipid profile,chest x ray to confirm the diagnosis.Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly.Drugs like Anti hypertensives,Anti platelets,lipid lowering drugs will be helpful in your case.I suggest you to avoid smoking,alcohol and fatty foods.Exercise regularly.Fruits,oats,vegetable salads are healthy to prevent heart disease.Consult your cardiologist immediately for followup and expert management.You can meet neurologist once your cardiologist consultation is over.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
