A member asked:

What can cause shortness of breath? had it for years. just comes and goes without warning.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

SOB: There are very many causes of shortness of breath. When it 'just comes and goes' it may be due to rhythm disturbances or asthma type episodes or episodic exposures to triggers. Discuss with the dr. Who knows you whether investigation is appropriate. Extensive investigation of infrequent occurences isn't always necessary.
