I have lost 30+pounds in less than four months and extreme shortness of breath(
Dr. has checked ekg-ok, upper G.i.-ok-no cancer, catscan-kidney stone,blood preesure-normal range, oxygen level-98%,
I have these eposides-usually in late afternoon. I feel like I am going to collapse or pass out if I don't sit down.However, I can usually go all day long sitting down or walking around the house with no problem. I ca drive w/o problems, but sometimes when I get out of my car and stand up to walk somewhere is when I get hit by the feeling I cannot breath and am going to pass out. Sometimes it is just a feeling of being short of breath, but I can still walk-with my walker.
