Shortness of breath with a normal x ray should be further evaluated, a cardiac condition excluded. Possible triggers, wheezing, cough should be noted. Monitor temperature and consider a PCR COVID 19 test. Is the shortness of breath worsened with exertion? Is there associated dizziness, fainting? Avoid smoke exposure, and please follow up. A virtual consultation with Healthtap is available.
