Breathlessness

[browndmb]

Am usually healthy but for the past two weeks have been suffering breathlessness and when going uphill even a small slope or stairs have to rest and gasp for air. Heart and lungs fine so could this be a virus of sorts and a remedy please. Just been for a load of blood tests.
Any help please

Just wait for the result of "load of blood tests" then i will be able to give an informed reply.

Thank you for your reply and I am back to see the doctor on Thursday morning and will update you as to what he says

[Sqad]

Fine.......look forward to your feedback.

I will be interested to see your update also browndmb as I have been having the same problem I have had a lung function test that was ok also an ecg that also came back ok my Doctor has told me the same I will have to have some blood tests she hasn't said what the blood test are testing for though.

Just back from the docs. Been for an X-ray. Blood results were almost normal----slight anaemia which he has given me iron tablets and the border line diabetes which will need watching. Neither he said would make me so breathless so he is stumped. Never having smoked or been in atmospheres for emphysema it still might be that which I hope not.I would like to get better but am getting down a bit now. Friday 13th is next doc appointment and I think he hopes it will have resolved itself by then.
Thanks for any help

So, the good news is that we are not dealing with organic disease.

Well could it be that you are overweight?

if not, then it could be viral as a diagnosis of "last resort."

It should settle..........

\\\ and the border line diabetes \\\\

So you are overweight.

Thanks for reply and do have to try and lose a stone although doc was not overly worried but will certainly will make a determined effort as have been given the diet which should make the difference. I am 5ft 8ins
So here's hoping I can see an end to this debilitating state.
Thanks
