Can Breathlessness Symptom For UTI?
i am having symptoms of breathlessness, to the point I get winded when I talk sometimes. I am 59, not overweight, otherwise healthy. My dr. said that is one symptom of a uti. Could that be a possibility? My urinalysis showed moderate blood in urine.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern let me tell you something if you have the urinary tract infection in acute form then this may not induce breathing problem but if this is chronic untreated with the RBC in urine then this condition could reduce the level of hemoglobin and this may some time causes the breathing problem like breathlessness, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
