A member asked:

Get shortness of breath all day at rest from dysautonomia. heart, lungs blood all normal. would exercise increase oxygen in blood long term?

Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Why would you: think that dysautonomia would cause resting shortness of breath? That does not make sense physiologically. Exercise will not increase the blood oxygen level long term.
