What Causes Breathlessness With Sweating Despite Normal Heart Tests?

I had AVR and a aneurism on my aorta repaired 10 years ago, I an now 53. In the past 7 weeks I have become short of breath with little exertion along with breaking out in a severe sweat which is so not normal for me, I ended up in the ER due to this last weekend. They did all the heart test minus a heart cath, which showed everything fine, I am still very worried because it has not subsided. I do have elhers Danlos too, is this something that I should insist on a heart cath or would the echo, stress test showed if there was something going on with my heart? Thanks

Hi
Even if all the test appear normal
On the saferside it is better to go for Cath study.to know the exact details of the problem
Better to discuss with the cardiologist and go with his opinion
You should be careful with the blood supply, to avoid blockage or atherosclerosis
Take care
