Hello Maam

I remember your previous health query which i have answered and again reviewed it today. In that discussion i have advised you to kindly get one ECG and ECHO tests done for evaluation that whether or not its a cardiac issue.

Have you undergone these two basic cardiac tests?

If yes kindly upload the reports of the same for me to evaluate and if not its a sincere advise to get it done first so that if cardiac issues are ruled out then we can think further or evaluate it on different basis.

Kindly upload the reports from your dashboard.

Kind Regards

Detailed Answer:
Ma'am I understand that but everything has a solution. In my advise why don't you visit doctor in his clinic instead is a hospital.

Or one another good way is to simply go for some health checkup packages which almost all hospitals have which includes ECG and echocardiography. In this way you can get your test done as well as a proper consultation also.
