Hi, i suffer from breathlessness and a tight chest. My voice trail off at the end of a sentence during conversations. I pant after climbing up stairs. Sometimes, I have difficulty speaking as if I've run some distance. I would really appreciate your suggestion. Regards,

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having breathlessness on minimal exertion.
This is common symptom in cardiac and Pulmonary diseases.
So better to consult doctor and get done ecg, 2d echo to rule out cardiac diseases.
If these are normal than get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out Pulmonary causes.
So, better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
