Suggest Treatment For Tenderness In The Chest And Shortness Of Breath

My wife has trouble breathing. Also has tenderness on her chest. She had a stress test and CT scan....both normal. She has a lung function test today and a breathing treatment didn t help. She is really frustrated. Do you have any ideas on what could be the problem? Thank you!!!!

Shortness of breath can be due lung problems and heart problems. Evaluation of cardiac cause is required. I would suggest you to get an ECG AND 2D ECHOCARDIOGRAM done. Hope i have answered your questions. If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
