Hello,

Fatigue, rapid heart rate & excessive sweating may be indicative of some developing coronary artery disease.

If associated with nausea, lightheadedness, chest discomfort, you should report to your treating doctor without delay, you may need immediate medical attention.

In the meantime, visit ER, get physically examined & get CBC, Urinalysis, Lipid profile, ECG, Echocardiography, stress tests, CT & MRI.

You will be treated (Medications or Surgery) according to the pathology detected. Switch to healthy lifestyle, stay away from junk food, red meat, alcohol, addiction if any. Do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
