What Causes Shortness Of Breath?
Question: For Dr Ditah can you have a look any link with shortness of breath
Brief Answer:
No finding on this result has a direct link with shortness if breath!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for sharing these results with me.
I have reviewed them fully. But for the blood lipids and blood glucose which are out of the normal targets, all others are very well within the expected normal range. I will suggest that you talk with your cardiologist and get this addressed and more so because you have had a heart stent before.
Otherwise, there is no direct information suggestive of shortness of breath from these laboratory values. Has your heart function been evaluated by a heart ultrasound? I will recommend this so as to tell what the functioning state of the heart is. This could be a possible cause but the results are totally unable to relate to this. The kidney and liver are both doing great.
Keep me posted and I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
I will suggest you go to the hospital!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It all starts with the right diagnosis and for that we need more investigations at the hospital. It is only when we establish the exact cause that we can go one and propose a treatment plan. I understand your wish of not going to the hospital that much but this is an unavoidable step at this time.
