Exhaustion, : Exhaustion, lack of energy and weakness, associated with your cardiac history and obesity, can be signs of heart failure. If you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath and arm pain, call 911. Do not drive. These are classic signs of heart attack. Timely treatment of heart attack is crucial for optimum treatment and recovery. I recommend you call 911 right away and be taken to the emergency room.

sleep disorder: These are fairly classic symptoms of a sleep disorder...Possible an obstructive sleep apnea. See a physician and he will suggest a sleep study to determine the various aspects of your problem. A CPAP machine or an oral appliance may offer drastic help for you. Don't delay.

Sleep apnea: Please see your physician and discuss the possibility of sleep apnea. An overnight witnessed sleep study is required to diagnose this life threatening condition. If that is the problem, supplemental oxygen can be provided by a continuous positive airway machine ( cpap) and may save your life.
