Symptoms in a young female unlikely due to heart disease |

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hello, I've been suffering recently from symptoms similar to those of a heart disease, my hands and feet start sweating whenever I'm nervous or scared and sometimes even when I'm asleep, cold hands and tips even in hot weathers, indigestion, short breath,feeling tired and sleepy almost all of the time. My question is, is it necessary that I might be suffering a heart disease or are the above symptoms common and I shouldnt be worrying? and what kind of diagnoses will I have to undergo in order to know whether or not I have a heart disease? P.S: I'm 20 years old and been having all of the above symptoms long time ago, except the indigestion and fullness which developed recently. Thanks in advance, Summer Dear Summer: I think that it is very unlikely that your symptoms are related to heart disease. If you are experiencing discomfort in your chest particularly with exertion then an exercise stress test may be useful. It is more likely that there is another cause for your symptoms other than heart disease and it may be good to consult your family doctor for a full history and clinical examination. |
