A member asked:

Having breathing problem on minimal exertion not able to do daily activities test done 2decho, pft xray=normal, what to do now ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Time to look further: The results suggest that neither your heart nor your lungs are the reason, so its time to look for other possible causes. Do follow-up with your doctor for further evaluation, but two possibilities that come to mind are anaemia and hypothyroidism if you have not already been checked for these.
