What Causes Shortness Of Breath While Exerting?
I am a hyper patient and recently found that I am short of breath if i climb stairs or even walk fast. There is a history of heart disease in the family. Recently with one of my ECGs, the doctor said that maybe the arteries arte narrowing and I must go in for a full heart check up and then maybe an angiography. Is it something serious?

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I have gone through you question carefully. As you have a family history of
heart disease and shortness of breath on exertion with (probably) an
abnormal ECG you must undergo a heart check up (recommended) . If
everything comes out to be normal you have reason to celebrate and it
would allay you anxiety as well
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
