What Could Breathing Difficulty Indicate Despite Specialists Unable To Find A Cause?
My mother is 75 yrs and is suffering from shortness of breath upon standing. She has seen a cardiologist, pulmunary specialist, and gastrointestonal and they cannot find any cause. There is something wrong and this condition is disrupting her life. What should she do now, what could it be?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. If all the test conducted did not show any cause, possibly it could be anxiety issues.
2. She needs to try breathing exercises like pranayama to reduce tension.
3. If required, she can meet a psychiatrist once for professional counseling and specific medication. If all tests were available, I can be of more help
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
