Welcome and thanks for your query. Breathlessness can be caused by weakness of the heart and hence it is not pumping the blood out well. This causes back pressure into the lungs and causes breathless and is called cardiac asthma . The treatment is different from the usual asthma which is due to the narrowing of air passages.
