A member asked:
I notice when i walk fast or say a sentence or even hold my baby i need to pause for a breath or two. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO : Those minimal activities should not cause shortnesss of breath. There are several potential causes some of which are more serious than others. A much more detailed history as well as physical exam is needed to determine the cause and should be done sooner rather than later.
