Hi
it can be a painc attack, a stable angina attack or a minor stroke as all hve almost overlapping symptoms
a complete baselini cardio profile of mother should be done
adv
2d echo
tread mill test to rule out the functions of the heart and ischemia
cardiac marker like trop i should be done
mri brain should be done to rule out stroke
fasting and pp blood sugar to be done
blood pressure to be monitored.
a daignosis can be made only after full investigation
