Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that considering your performed cardiac tests, I would exclude any possible cardiac disorders. Coming to this point, your symptoms could be related to different possible causes: chronic anemia, a lung disorder, thyroid gland dysfunction, etc.
For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes:
-A chest X-ray study and pulmonary function tests
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- Thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- Blood electrolytes for any possible imbalance.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
