captaindan I would encourage her to see another doctor or get a 2nd or 3rd opinion; I assume she's seen a pulmonoligist [sp] since she had her breathing checked? If not, a consult might help along with finding another cardiologist and having a full cardiology workup

It may be nothing but it's always good to make sure especially when a doctor says it's just anxiety - I had that happen for over 5 years by 3 or 4 doctors and mine turned out to be heart related; but that doesn't mean your wife's will.

mellymoo76 have you had a full cardiology workup yet? also mention to your doctor when you go about the fainting and getting a Head up Tilt Table Test (HuTT or TTT) for your fainting

Has she had a stress test? Has she worn a heart monitor and recorded those times when she was short of breath? It may or may not be heart related. But a start would be to see what her heart is doing during those times she can't breathe well. Getting an EKG done while she feels fine won't tell them  much.
