Would Experiencing Shortness Of Breath During Exercise Normal?
I have shortness of breath when I exercise or take a few flights of stairs. This came on suddenly as I exercise 2-3 times a week both running and biking. It occurred during a nuclear stress test and a catherization revealed a bridge artery. My cardiologist started me on blood pressure medication a few days ago. I still have the symptoms. Should this improve over time with the medication or can it be another problem?

Thank You for contacting HCM.
Yes most probably it will improve gradually. Also it can depend on the type of medicines you are taking. If you does not improve in a week or condition starts deteriorating then consult your treating doctor.
