What can be done about my breathing troubles like shortness of breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the cause: Shortness of breath has many possible causes, so what is done about it depends on the cause. A consultation with a lung specialist is advised in order to narrow down the many possible causes, and to determine a treatment that will make you feel better. Start with your family doctor and see is they think a consultation with a specialist is needed.
