What Causes Persistent Shortness Of Breath With All Tests Normal?
I have had shortness of breath for five weeks now. It was a sudden onset. I feel like I can only take short shallow breaths. I am in fairly good shape, 5 3 , 140 lbs. I work out 6 times per week for 35-45 minutes each time. I run 3.2 miles, 2-3 times per week, stair climb on the treadmill 2-3 times per week, and take yoga. Don t smoke, never have. I have no other pain or symptoms. Chest X-rays were excellent. Spirometery test was normal. Oxygen level has been normal. Blood pressure great. Hemoglobin normal range. Other blood tests all normal. Doctor doesn t have a clue and is at a loss. I Tried an inhahel (albuterol) for three weeks without any improvement. I m now very frustrated and just uncomfortable. What is causing this?

HI
Well come to HCM
Well let me tell you that when everything is okay even the bronchodilator fails to work then this could be functional condition and may be due to some stress, and emotional stress could be the very likely condition, and you need to come out of this condition, hope this helps, take care.
