I don’t know if I have a heart problem or something. I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that when I go out for a walk of around 2 miles that after about half a mile I feel a large amount of fatigue/weakness in my legs and somewhat in my arms and really struggle to continue as I feel exhausted. My pulse usually is quite faint all the time and my heartbeat is not fast during this time. Prior to this I was doing 2 miles without any issues. Also, sometimes when I lie down I feel a constant vibration in my left rib cage.
On another note I have held my breath for as long as I can and when I exhale my heartbeat is not fast as I would expect. Hopefully I can find some answers from some of you.

Hello and welcome to the forum! Nobody can rely diagnose via the Internet. It would be sensible to ring 111 and let them decide on what action to take. They may send paramedics to run an ECG and other tests.
I had the fatigue symptoms you describe about a week before my heart attack, though I cant say for sure that they are connected. You have nothing to lose at all from a quick 101 call. I wish I had, it might have diagnosed the forthcoming attack and made for a much quicker recovery..
Thanks for the info. I have had this vibrating feeling in the left rib cage for about two months. It’s very odd. The fatigue after walking a short distance does worry me and I feel awful for a few hours after. Not overweight neither
Ring them,that`s what they`re there for and the public have been urged not to neglect health issues unrelated to the virus.You really do need professional advice by the sound of your symptoms.
It’s the thought of possibly being took to hospital which would not usually bother me but with my wife and four children at home, it bothers me for various reasons especially these current circumstances
I really don’t know if it’s a problem with my heart. The big concern is the feelings/symptoms I get especially after walking a short distance and my heart rate is not at all fast. I worry about the ‘ unknown ‘ protocol in hospitals.
