Mgt: There are many causes of being short of breath. I would suggest a cardio-pulmonary work up. Do you have any other symptoms, including cough, rash, swelling? Have you had chest imaging, pulmonary function testing? A virtual inbox consultation can help in the evaluation.

Time for exam: You need to write down all your present symptoms and arrange an office visit. Think about your diet/sleeping habits/ work habits and be ready to summarize them for the doc.As they review your history and do an exam, they can decide if any testing is needed to sort this out. There are many possibilities and only a proper evaluation can sort them out.
