Shortness Of Breath, Increased Heartbeat, Sweating, Weakness In Legs And Arms When Working. Controlled Cholesterol Level
I have the following symptoms when I do yard work (burning large branches from downed trees, lots of bending over, raking etc) : shortness of breath, pounding heart, sweating, weakness in legs and arms. I am a 63 y.o. woman about 30 lbs over weight. My cholesterol and high blood pressure are under control with medication. Is this something I need to check out and if so what type of doctor?
Thanks,
Kathy

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, and would advise you to get done your hemoglobin test first if it comes normal then you will have to see the cardiologist first to rule out some cardiac elements, and if the hemoglobin level turned low the then start the iron therapy or discus it with your doctor because cause of low Hb need to be rule out, take care, it is just not to worry, will come around have nice day.
