A member asked:
Why do i get daily attacks of shortness of breath when my peak flow, oxygen saturation, pulse, temperature, blood test and ekg results are all normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breath: Many things can cause you to feel short of breath. One of the most common is a panic attack. Are you prone to them? Other medical conditions such as congestive heart failure with volume overload are frequently seen in elderly patients. Other heart conditions and pulmonary conditions can cause this as well. In a young healthy person such as yourself a panic attack seems more likely. See your Dr
