What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Weakness With No Blockage In The Heart?
I’m a 58 year old male. I’m having shortness of berth when I do anything. Both my mom & dad & old brother died of lung cancer but the doctor I go to won’t even take a chest x-ray. He sent me for a heart test but one year later he asked me if I ever went for it. Said he did not have anything about it in his files. The doctor that did the heart catcher told there was no blockage. But I still can’t do anything without feeling like I’m about to have a heart attack. Feeling very weak and having a hard time berthing.
Thanks for your question on HCM. Since your cardiac workup is normal,In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Chest x ray 2. PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test ). And rule out pulmonary causes. Bronchitis can cause similar symptoms. So PFT is necessary to diagnose bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. So get done PFT. If all these are normal than no need to worry much. Your symptoms may be due to anxiety. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
