What Causes Difficulty In Breathing?

Posted on Tue, 6 Dec 2016

Question: My breathing is more and more difficult every week upon any exertion at all. My angiogram yesterday shows no heart or arterial issues whatsoever. I am exhausted and no one seems to know why.

I tried a bronchial dialator and it did not work, or anti-histamines.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your symptoms may be related to:
- Lung disease
- GERD or acid reflux disease
- Psychological issues.

This is why I strongly recommend that you should do the following examinations:
- Pulmonary function test
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Lung ct scan
- Upper endoscopy
- Laringoscopy

If everything is ok than your symptoms are related to anxiety and psychological issues.

Wish you health!
