A member asked:
I usually experience shortness of breathe is it something to do with my heart or lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: The sensation of being short of breath can result either from not being able to breathe well with your lungs, or not to get the oxygenated blood to your body because of your heart being unable to pump.
