Doctor: Hi,  First of all, you should measure your blood pressure and if it were high, you should receive a medical treatment and do an ECG and an ECHO on your heart to assess the ejection fraction.  Second, if you took oral contraceptive pills or a hormonal replacement therapy,you should ask a gynecologist for help. Second, you should do ESR to assess the left temporal artery occlusion. Besides taking medical treatment for your heart condition, you should change your lifestyle by stop eating too much fat and salt in your food.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
