Suggest Remedy For Depression, Fatigue, Dizziness And Breathlessness In An Elderly Person

My husband has become depressed, has kidney and liver abnormalities, has little energy, has had episodes of dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches, and his personality has changed to much more negative in recent months. He also has some short term memory loss. He is 61. He has high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, high cholesterol. He had a stress test that showed that his heart is fine but his oxygen levels are low and blood pressure high.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If the tests have ruled out any heart conditions, he may need additional testing to take a look at the lungs and also blood tests to rule out anemia as a cause of his symptoms.

His depression should also be appropriately treated. Depression can have a significant effect on a person's life.

I hope this helps
