What Causes Extreme Fatigue After An Heart Attack?
Question: I had a heart attack in 2013, I have recently become very weak, my Doctor has run heart tests but I can no longer shop for my groceries because of this weakness. I am weak just sitting in my chair. I just had a lung and heart scan and will receive results this Friday. My Doctor says to walk but I am to weak. My problem was the heart muscle was not functioning properly.
Brief Answer:
Heart failure/thyroid problems/anemia to rule out.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.
Your symptoms are indicative for possible heart failure. If you have any echocardiogram report, you can upload so I can analyze myself.
I'd also suggest to run further tests to check for:
- thyroid problems
- anemia
to give final conclusions.
Hope it was of help!
