What Causes Fatigue And Shortness Of Breath For A 29 Year Old Male?
I am 27, male, have been suffering from short episodes of sudden fatigue, which I suspect to be due to shortness of breath. I feel the episodes of fatigue when 1. When I do exercise for a while and sit down to take rest. 2. After eating heavy meal. Also when I sit in a small, enclosed space, (such as small meeting room) I get the episodes of fatigue very often. What medical tests are needed to find the cause for this illness. Is it Shortness of breath.

Hello,
Shortness of breath episodes after various activities can be due to cardiac or respiratory diseases. I suggest you to consult a cardiologist first for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management.
