[|Human|] Hi, I m a 48 year old woman having heart palpitations, shortness of breath, but at rest, not during exercise. Weakness , fatigue, weak legs. This has started the past three months, also sort of depressed. I m a light smoker,( I calculated I have about a 6 pack year history) and I jog 3 times a week. I m worried I have lung cancer , or is this perimenopause?
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. It is hard to say, but lung cancer is the last thing to think since it is not so common disease and there would be some other symptoms. It more likely indicates heart disease or some other benign lung disease. Perimenopause symptoms may be similar as well but I suggest seeing cardiologist and vascular internist first to rule out heart diseases. Wish you good health. Regards.
