A member asked:

Can a 450 lb man with sob after walking 20 ft be having symptoms of coronary artery occlusion? he becomes sweating profusely and very short of breath

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Definitely : Symptoms of coronary ischemia (poor blood flow to heart) can be quite variable. Many people do not have the classic symptoms of squeezing chest pressure shortness of breath etc. Some people have just shortness of breath or belly pain or no symptoms at all. A 450 pound man is certainly at risk. Get to a doctor asap.
