A member asked:
When i breathe, i feel as if my lungs don't absorb enough oxygen. just a little exertion makes me pant. what could be wrong?

See below: I would discuss this with your PCP or pulmonologist. You probably are going to need at least a CXR and a pulmonary function test. Both of these will help determine a cause for you.
