Can Severe Breathlessness Be Caused Due To Menopause?
Hi. I am away on a skiing holiday but have had to bow out of my group as I cannot even walk to the lifts without feeling out of breath, I have been ok and skied well every other year. I am a 52 year old woman, could this be menopause related? Thank you.
Hi, I think it can be related to menopause. But you should rule out other things like cardiac or lung problem also. Get yourself evaluated by a physician. Get a ECG and chest x-ray PA view done to see if there is any other cause of this. Hope it helps.
