A member asked:

I hve breathlessness on very mild activity x-ray and pft are normal echo ecg normal, i am worrying for pulmonary fibrosis or copd can lpr cause breat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not: If your pft and cxr are normal, COPD and pf have been ruled out. Other tests to consider are: cbc, tsh, and bnp. If all normal, consider a fitness program. Anxiety can also cause marked breathlessness if this applies to you.
