if I walk quite fast or I am rushing around I tend to get a bit breathless and have a dry tickly cough any ideas what it could be

[boxtops]

I get out of breath, but I'm somewhat overweight and unfit.

[fruitsalad]

yes box I am not as fit as I once was. but I wouldn't say I'm overweight

[anneasquith]

[anneasquith]

wouldn't do any harm to see gp.

A pal has those symptoms and the GP started with blood samples and arranged tests. Thing is the GP took him quite seriously so get checked out as it could just be heart connected like with him.

[fruitsalad]

I have had heart test seadogg done a few months back where they attach the pads to you and connect to machine think its an ECG that was ok

Doesn't everyone get a bit breathless when they have exerted themselves?
