What Causes Breathing Difficulty, Dizziness And Headache?
Hi - I'm 49 years old and am undergoing tests that I'm very worried about. 12 days ago I had a very bad breathing loss reaction when helping my daughter clean her stables out, I thought it was my own fault as I have hayfever, however 2 days later I still felt no better so went to the walk-in-centre. There the nurse thought I might have pneumonitis so sent me off for x-rays, my blood pressure, which is normally normal, was 54/92.
They came back & showed I had fluid on the lung, my blood pressure then was 144/101. Over the weekend I have continued to feel extreamly tired and at some points have felt very fuzzy/dizzy and headachy. I am having an ECG tomorrow and am awaiting an appt for an Echo.
My question is, what could all this mean as its not really been explained, and am I right to be worried?

dizziness, haedache may be due to your blood pressure levels or due to stress due to these medical problems, fluid in the lung will cause breathlessness symptoms, ecg and other tests are being done to know the cause of the fluid accumulation, your ecg , echo are fine then no need to worry, fluid aacumulation can be due to other causes as well not only the heart
