I have been having a shortness of breath and fluttering in middle of chest and pressure on my heart side and on my ? What is causing this and what should I do. I need to chang my diet and exercise more. Will this fix it?
Hi, Your blood pressure readings are very high. And your symptoms are also suggestive of heart diseases more. So better to consult a cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test) and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). Exercise is contraindicated at present and the diet only will not work. So better to consult a cardiologist and discuss all these.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
