Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had polio in 1949 when I was 5 years old & am now 67 years old. I am a female & about 2 weeks ago I experienced shortnesst of breath, heaviness in my chest & extreme fatigue. I went to my primary care doctor after a week. He did a chest x-ray, an ekg & blood work. Everything came back alright. Then I wore a holter monitor for 24 hours & that came back okay. I also had a pulmonary breathing exam at the hospital and that came back alright also. I am doing better, but am wondering if this could be related to having polio. My health in general is good. Any information you could pass along to me would be appreciated. Thank You
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that as you said that all your reports are turned unremarkable then in my opinion this could be due to low hemoglobin and it is advisable to get done the hemoglobin test, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
