Shortness of breath: Possibilites: GERD, Bronchospasm, Cardiac (even with normal EKG), Deconditioned. Although you have a normal EKG you are having symptoms with activity. You should receheck with your doctor. May be worth doing a stress test.

I've had shortness for the past 6 months or so. My ECG/EKG test did not show any abnormalities. It is exacerbated when I walk up stairs but I'm fine when I run at gym. Does this persistent issue warrant further testing or is it simply anxiety?
