What Causes Breathlessness, Burping And Yawning?

I am 64 year old male from Delhi and generally healthy and do complete annual Heath check up which shows no heart problem. Three months back I had pneumonia while in USA After that I have burping , yawning and breathlessness all together problem which makes me quite uncomfortable. Doctor advised me for a stress and heart echo test here in USA which I did not do as it is very expensive.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
For your symptoms, we need to rule out cardiac and Pulmonary causes.
Cardiac diseases like heart failure, coronary artery disease (CAD) etc can cause similar symptoms.
Pulmonary causes like bronchitis, fibrosis can cause similar symptoms.
So better to first get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
Get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out Pulmonary causes.
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.
