Brief Answer:
cardiac investigations have to be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for query,
Have seen your details and i appreciate your concerns.
As per the description given by you most likely cardiac output could be compromised.Normally 25% of the blood pumped by heart is used by brain.This supply is maintained by heart even when blood flow to other regions increases like toward intestine when we take food or toward skeletal muscles when we exercise.
I would suggest you to go for 2d echo test to see if cardiac functions are normal.Along with it a stress test should be done to see if cardiac output is maintained during straining also.
Follow up with report.
Thanks.
