A member asked:

Sir i'm feeling un easy in breathing i have yarn to take breath in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dyspnea: Do you feel short of breath only with exertion? If so pulmonary function tests should be done. If your shortness of breath is only at rest, tension or anxiety may be the cause.
