Hello,
With the question "What should I do if I have a heart attack, shortness of breath, low blood pressure?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Malnutrition can cause low blood pressure, because blood pressure is stabilized normally due to myocardial contractility, blood volume, normalization of blood vessel walls and other factors. blood elements such as protein and minerals. Your child's low blood pressure may be due to abnormality of the above factors. Malnutrition makes treatment more difficult than heart disease alone. But still treatable, you should not be pessimistic.
I need to see a Cardiologist and a Nutritionist for advice. Your doctor will diagnose your child's condition and develop a specific treatment plan for him. The doctor will give you an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, chest X-ray and necessary blood tests to assess the extent of your illness.
If you still have questions about your heart attack, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. I wish you a lot of health.
