A member asked:
Have shortness of breath started a few month ago just comes on suddenly sometimes when sitting down? been to docs and they said breathing was fine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dyspnea : Shortness of breath is usually from pulmonary or cardiac factors, mixed, or non cardiac pulmonary. A visit to your physician to do spirometery to test for asthma and other lung problems may be helpful, as well as an EKG, and you may require testing for Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Please don't smoke. There are other tests in the workup depending on the history of the dyspnea. Good luck.
