Neurologist 's  Response
lastly u described seems to be exertional dyspnoea. it can be due to uncontrolled asthma or cardiac disease. since cardiac disease is ruled out asthma may be the reason. regarding fainting attacks if it occurs with exertion or dyspnoea and in lying down or sitting position seizure has to be ruled out
