What Causes Constant Headache, Neck Pain And Shortness Of Breath?

Hello My name is Michelle McQuinn, I am 43 years old, I am experiencing constant headache, some dizziness, breathing issues, and neck pain after exertion, and now it seems everytime I eat something it goes right through me like maybe a stomach virus. The breathing issue is gradually getting worse, if I take even a short walk to like my mailbox I have pain and shortness of breath. i have done some of my own research and it appears as though it may be congestive heart failure. Any Ideas.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response

Hi,

Your symptoms, especially breathlessness on slight exertion with head ache and neck pain suggest high blood pressure with cardiac involvement. Please consult a heart specialist for detailed physical examination and needful investigations, followed by cause specific treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
