hello,
welcome to hcm,
sometimes anxiety also may cause your above symptoms.It may lead to hyperventilation causing washing of carbondioxide.I advise you to put a plastic cover around your face and try breathing in it for few seconds . If you are a smoker then i advise you to quit smoking.
thank you

hello ,good morning....
based on your history probably there is no lung pathology as your CT and x-ray is negative. i advice you to please get your ECG and pulmonary function test(PFT) done. in some conditions like prinzmetal angina arteries will be clear but can be constricted.
asthmatic condition can also cause shortness of breath so kindly get PFT done.
kindly consult cardiologist,pulmonogist and get your ECG done.
i hope this is helpful for you.
