Does Dizziness And Fatigue Indicate Clogged Arteries?
Hello Dr. Rynne. I worried about clogged arteries. I m 43 years old. I m experiencing dizziness, fatigue, an overall feeling of not feeling good, a spaced out feeling and an feeling of uselessness and depression. I am currently on Citaloparam but I haven t taken it in about a week due to the busyness of life. I feel like the uselessness and depression is due to that, but I am worried about the other symptoms.

Hello,
Dizziness and easy fatigability are seen in conditions like heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina due to clogged vessels, hypothyroidism, deep venous thrombosis, usage of various medications like anti-depressants, transient ischemic attack or mini stroke, stroke (associated with other symptoms like weakness of limbs), peripheral neuropathy leading to orthostatic hypotension or anemia.
You need a detailed evaluation by history taking, clinical examination and few tests like complete blood picture, ECG, 2D echocardiography, examination of nervous system if necessary MRI brain, kidney and liver function tests. Please consult a physician for specific diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
