Hi welcome to Chat Doctor, I understand your query and concern. Your symptoms are suggestive of heart failure secondary to ischemic changes in the heart. I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo, lipid profile, hsCRP immediately to confirm the diagnosis. Monitor your blood pressure regularly. Take fluids 3-4 liters per day. If blood pressure is less than 80/60 mm Hg you may need intravenous fluids. Chat Doctor. Coronary angiogram with or without stenting will be the procedure of choice. Consult your cardiologist for expert management. Hope I have answered your query at the moment, Post your further queries if any, Thank you
