General & Family Physician,  's  Response
thank you and pleased to answer you,
Usually the shortness of breath causes have a relationship with the heart or lung, but the exams you have done show no cardiac or respiratory problemes.
I think strongly on anemia especially with the fatigue of which you are subject.
I suggest you to do a blood test to evaluate anemia.
but there are also a shortness of breath caused by a generalized anxiety disorder and also without any causes. it would be interesting to consult a cardiologist.
wish may this opinion help you.
