I am 36 years old female and I have been experiencing a squeezing sensation in my chest off and on (I can t tell if it s from the heart or a lung). Recently I have noticed that sometimes I wheeze while talking and I have to stop in the middle of a sentence to catch my breath. I have noticed that my resting heart rate has increased and my blood pressure has dropped. My abdomen has become distended and my hands and feet look swollen or fatter. Is all this related? I have been diagnosed with Hypercholesterolemia and I do have blockage in the Carotid artery but I do not know the percent. Please help!
Hello, I am afraid to tell you that this is really related, but to be sure you have to do some investigations, as an ultrasound on the heart (ECHO), CHEST X-ray, and E.C.G. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
