Hi,
First of all, you should measure your blood pressure and if it were high you should receive a medical treatment, take aspirin 160 mg, decrease salt and fat intake and do an ECG and ECHO on your heart to assess ejection fraction. Second, if you had a heart problem, you should do lipid profile in the blood. If you take oral contraceptive pills,you should ask a gynecologist for help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
First of all you should ask a gynacologist for help if you take oral contraceptive pills or hormonal replacement therapy.
Because the level of the female sex hormone can disturb the electrolytes in the body fluid.
If the symptoms continued after adjusting the dose of the hormonal therapy, you should measure your blood pressure and if it were high you should receive a medical treatment.
Decrease salt intake, reduce fat intake and do an ECG and an ECHO on your heart.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
