Cardiologist 's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
Welcome to HCmagic
A high BP, Heaviness in heart and Shortness of breath are important features. Normal stress or ECHO tests 2 months back do not guarantee that it can not be a fresh cardiac problem. I would like you to see your doctors at escorts first (since they are aware of all details of her case) and see if they can find out a reason. Only then you should take another opinion.
Sincerely
