Seek expert care: It sounds as if you have provided many details but not enough to establish a prognosis. Much more info is required such as family history, height, weight, diet, exercise tolerance, co-morbid conditions, etc. This decision is best made by a specialist with a detailed knowledge of more detailed info.
