What Causes Dizziness And Shortness Of Breath?

I'm experiencing dizziness, that come with feeling to faint, light headed, rubbery legs, sweat and shortness of breath where I gasp for air daily & pretty much at the same time for a wk now. No possibility of pregnancy, blood work was done about a month ago & all came back normal

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should first rule out heart and lung diseases.
So first get done ecg and 2d echo.
Then get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for major heart and lung related diseases.
Sometimes stress, anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
