Question : I WALK 3 MILES A DAY AND AM NOT WINDED.AT THE END OF THE DAY I CLIMB A FLIGHT OF STAIRS TO BED,FEEL WINDED AND MY PULSE IS ELEVATED. WHAT COULD THIS BE?
Brief Answer:
Need cardiologist evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
If you feed winded while climbing stairs I would advise you to see a cardiologist and perform an ECG and stresss test. An cardiocardiovascular cause for your complaints should be ruled out.
Also, if you were my patient I would perform you echocardiography to evaluate the structure and contractility of your heart.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
