7 causes of breathlessness

Publicado 2022-07-09
What are some common causes of breathlessness you should know about?
In this video I talk about deconditioning, anxiety, ENT problems such as chronic rhinitis, heart failure, various lung conditions, cancer and pulmonary hypertension. Although I do not cover all the potential causes, I hope this broad list will be informative for you to have a big picture understanding of what causes us to be short of breath.

    I was fine and working out on a regular basis and then I started to get shortness of breath and sometimes had to rest before I went up the stairs to my apartment. So this has been going on for approximately a year or so and btw I didn’t have any vaccines. I just had a Cardiogram last week and I’m waiting for the results on that. Then there’s another test where they have to sedate you somewhat through medication and that is February 23, two weeks before that I need to get my ordered blood work done. This is great to know that this could be brought on for a number of health conditions! Thanks ❤ I was only leaning toward a blockage of some type before but it has happened fairly suddenly for me. The cardiologist I’m seeing seems to be leaning toward blockages or narrowing of the arteries. He did say that I have a heart murmur and I’m not so sure if this has been some thing that was brought on by something else or if I grew up with it. He said heart murmurs aren’t always detectable at younger ages.

  • When I was pregnant, I became short of breath when climbing up the stairs and it never went away. I’m in shape, exercise 3 times a week for an hour. My lung and my stress tests are fine. I don’t have anxiety. I take 75 mg’s of iron bc my periods are extremely heavy. What else could I ask my doctor? He already told me he doesn’t know.
