What Causes Sore Throat, Lightheadedness And Pressure In Head?

I ve been sick for over a week. It started with a sore throat, then a cough. I have a light cough.. If I make myself cough I have mucus. But, when I cough my heart burns. But only when I cough. Today my head feels pressure and a light headed feeling.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be suggestive of a sinus or lung infection. I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam, a chest and sinus X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). You may need to start antibiotics.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
