Do you have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss? Yes, more and more frequently I’ve been getting lightheaded. Oh, I also am getting headaches. I used to never get headaches, so all of this is new for me. I just thought I was out of shape and working too hard. That’s all I can think of this minute.

Well, I have been unusually tired recently and a bit short of breath , but I just thought I was overworking. Then today I was out working in the yard and got extremely lightheaded. I felt like I was about to pass out and I think if I hadn’t sat down, I actually might have passed out. I wasn’t doing anything strenuous…just planting some owers. Do you have any other symptoms or concerns we should discuss? Yes, more and more frequently I’ve been getting lightheaded. Oh, I also am getting headaches.

No What are the events surrounding the start of your fatigue/tiredness? I rst noticed feeling tired during a round of golf several months ago. I had to stop walking after the rst none holes and nish the round with a cart. Now that had never happened to me before. Again, I just thought I was working too hard.
