Suggest Medication To Cure Shortness Of Breath
I started having really bad shortness of breath on about April 18th when I exert myself, even slightly...like just bending over. The GP ordered an echocardiogram and a PFT. I had the stress echocardiogram but during the test I felt a tightness in the center of my chest. The doctor said the pain must have been psychosomatic, which really peeved me. i am not prone to making things up. Meanwhile, I am still having the shortness of breath and it really hurts when it happens. I am 66 years old.

Hello,
It may be due to several causes.
For further assessment you may require complete hemogram, pulmonary function test, chest x ray after chest physician consultation.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
You may require bronchodilators after consultation.
Continue breathing exercises
