Hi,
Thanks for the updates. How about any medications you are presently taking now? It seems that the diagnostic tests done were pretty much in order. Aside from cardiac and pulmonary issues, other causes of breathlessness include diabetic ketoacidosis, certain medications, hyperventilation and panic attack, thyrotoxicosis and even altitude sickness. You may also consider asking for a second opinion from other specialists for further evaluation. Take care and hope to hear from you.

Hi,
How are you? Can you elaborate on the chest pains present? You need to have your chest pains evaluated by your doctor to rule out cardiac causes. Your medical history, direct clinical examiantion and diagnostic tests such as ECG are important. Aside from cardiac issues, musculoskeletal, pulmonary and gastrointestinal conditions should also be evaluated. Take care and do keep us posted.
