Dear Patient,
of course, I can't do on you a physical exam, but you must exclude a cardiac dysfunction with ECG and echocardiogram and an evaluation of your hydration should be done with BNP, troponin. High blood pressure (even on medications), edema, shortness of breath are signs of hyoeridrstion, that must be corrected reducing your dry weight. Let me know
