A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: A person who has trouble with even small physical activities causing heart symptoms and shortness of breath can see her doctor for help. Several possibilities need to be evaluated as soon as possible. There may be some failure in the heart or lungs, or even a silent heart attack. There may be fluid around the heart or around the lungs. Her doctor or the ER doctor can assess possible causes.
