Cardiologist,  's  Response
Dear Mary,

Thanks for the query. It seems that you have significant symptomatic anemia, from a cause I cant elucidate from the query, but is probably the main issue that has to be addressed as it is limiting your capacity to carry oxygen with exercise. A Hematologist should look for a specific diagnosis and treatment; if your hemoglobin normalizes, probably your exercise capacity would improve as well.


Hope this helps wish you the best,
