What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Dizziness?
I was out walking at a normal speed today, when I came back I suddenly felt short of breath and very weak and dizzy. I took my blood pressure twice and it was 95/62 and 94/60 and my pulse both times was 51 and 50. I rested a bit but have spent the whole day feeling washed out and weak and not being able to stand for too long. Is this something I should be concerned about?
