A member asked:
What are common causes for very mild dyspnea at my age(1-2 seconds long?) physical causes? i have anxiety but am curious as to other causes? benign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No causes: It is not physiologic to become short of breath for 1-2 seconds. Common causes of breathlessness are: asthma, COPD pneumonia, blood clots, congestive heart failure, heart attack, collapsed lung, tumors and rare causes but all of the above cause prolonged periods of breathlessness. Hyperventilation due to anxiety can be very brief. Try some relaxation techniques-check this out: http://dawnbuse.Com.
