General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

What symptoms you are having might not be related directly to the problems pertaining to the heart.

Most often during your age, it could be associated with anaemia (decreased haemoglobin levels) caused due to iron deficiency.

Kindly get the following investigations done as part of the evaluation process.

1. Blood for complete hemogram.
2. Electrocardiogram.
3. Echocardiogram.

Kindly consult Physician with the report for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.

If the report seems to be normal and only indicates iron deficiency, you can take iron supplements in the form of medications along with intake of iron-rich foods.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
