No diabetes, no cardiac no respiratory disease. I've been known to have allergy related asthma for brief periods but it's been awhile. it's been going on a week or so idk maybe longer. non smoker x 10 years. no palpitations, no chest pain. just not breathing correctly. it's not better or worse just annoying. I'm tired of being tired. I know my weight doesn't help. probably 280-290 @ 5'6".
Brief Answer:
Please provide more information
Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome again and thanks for the details
Looking at your description I would advise you fro a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin, CBC, Liver function test kidney function test or pulmonary function test.
You are obese and obesity could be contributory factor for breathlessness.
I am unable to narrow down the possibility without physical examination. Therefore I would advise you to consult a chest physician as per your convenience and plan the aforementioned tests.
Hope this answers your question
Wishing you good health
