Dizziness and Shortness of Breath – Cardiology Care in Sugar Land & Katy, TX
Advanced Cardiology – Expert Care for Dizziness and Breathing Concerns
Feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or short of breath can be unsettling — especially if it happens often or comes on suddenly. While these symptoms can have many causes, they are sometimes linked to heart and circulation problems that require prompt evaluation.
At Advanced Cardiology, Dr. Adnan Khalid and our team specialize in uncovering the root cause of these symptoms, offering advanced diagnostics and customized treatment plans to protect your health.
Why Dizziness and Shortness of Breath Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Occasional dizziness or shortness of breath may happen after strenuous exercise or standing up too quickly.
However, when these symptoms occur frequently, without clear cause, or with other warning signs, they may indicate a more serious issue.
Potential heart-related concerns include:
-
Heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias)
-
Heart failure
-
Coronary artery disease
-
Low blood pressure or poor circulation
-
Valve disorders affecting blood flow
-
Anemia or low oxygen levels due to heart or lung problems.
Common Symptoms to Watch For
When dizziness and shortness of breath occur together, they may be accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
These should be evaluated promptly by a cardiologist:
-
Rapid or irregular heartbeat
-
Chest pain or discomfort
-
Fainting or near-fainting spells
-
Severe fatigue or weakness
-
Swelling in the legs or ankles
-
Wheezing or tightness in the chest
These combinations can point to underlying heart conditions that require specialized care.
Our Approach to Diagnosis
Getting to the bottom of dizziness and shortness of breath requires thorough evaluation and testing.
At Advanced Cardiology, we use a step-by-step approach:
1. Detailed Consultation
-
Review of your medical history and symptoms
-
Discussion of lifestyle factors and family history
2. Advanced Diagnostic Testing
-
Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) to check heart rhythm
-
Echocardiogram to visualize heart structure
-
Stress test to assess heart performance under activity
-
Blood work to check for anemia, thyroid, or other imbalances
-
Oxygen saturation monitoring for lung and circulation health
3. Personalized Treatment Plan
-
Lifestyle changes to manage contributing factors
-
Medications for heart rhythm or circulation improvement
-
Interventional procedures for blocked arteries or valve issues
-
Referrals to pulmonary or other specialists if non-cardiac causes are identified.
