What causes constant shortness of breath?
Patient: hi....i am having shortness of breath all the time..and there are times it jus goes away. The most difficult part is that i m unable to talk freely due to this. i am unable to speak long sentences and this is frustating me. This is taking a toll and coming in my routine life . i have been to doctors and they have all kind of possible tests and they cant see why. I m really frustated and need to start breathing n talking . Its like when i talk i stop breathing. Thiw has been hapenin since 3 months and i don knw wht to do Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out asthma or bronchitis in your case. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) first.If this is normal then no need to worry for asthma or bronchitis. Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause breathing difficulty. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs (propranolol and flunarizine combination) also.Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
