I hope that Heather is right about the possibility that it might be something that is easily treated.
Yes, I have had a minor heart problem because I ended up with a situation where I had trouble breathing, would end up almost fainting, and had fast heartbeats. It turned out to be something to do with the electrical system of my heart and was easily treatable with medication. I have not had a problem for something like nearly 20 years.
Steve, keep us informed about your wife's progress. It must be the children are keeping her exhausted
