Hi welcome to hcm I understand your query and concern. Your symptoms are suggestive of ischemia of heart leading to congestive symptoms.I advise you to get an ECG,2 D echo ,lipid profile,hsCRP immediately to confirm the diagnosis.I also advise you to get chest x ray to confirm.Drugs like clopilet,ecosprin,betablockers diuretics will help once diagnosis is confirmed.Get your blood pressure and heart rate monitored regularly.Coronary angiogram with or without stenting will be the procedure of choice.Restrict your salt intake to less than 6 gm per day.Exercise regularly.Meditation ,yoga,breathing exercises will help to large extent.Consult your cardiologist for expert management. Post your further queries if any, Thank you.
