What Causes Lightheadedness, Weak Legs And Difficulty Breathing?

My girlfriend is feeling light headed, her arms and legs are weak and heavy, she is breathing okay but having trouble taking deep breaths. Her pulse is 70 bpm. She has been drinking lots of coffee and an energy drink every day. Should I take her to an after hours clinic?

Dear Sir,

At first she needs to cut off the amount of caffeine taken. Try to regulate her sleep.
If she continue to have symptoms after that, you should see your doctor for further tests.
In young age such symptoms can be caused also by anxiety or over-tiredness.

Hope I could help you

Wishing a good health to your girlfriend
