<human>: I ve felt breathless on and off for a few months, it seems to be worse if I ve drunk alcohol (even a small amount like one or two beers). Last year I had some blood tests taken for a different reason and everything was absolutely fine apart from a very low folate level.
<bot>: Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or a lung disorder. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests: - a cardiac ultrasound to examine your heart structure and function and exclude possible heart failure- a chest X-ray study and respiratory function tests to exclude a lung disorder-vitamin B12 plasma levels. A close monitoring of your blood pressure is also helpful to exclude possible hypotension. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
