What Course Of Treatment Should Be Done For Persistent Shortness Of Breath?
I have shortness of breath after just walking from my car into the grocery store. I ve been taking walks to try to improve cardio but it doesn t seem to help. What should I ask my Dr. to test for? It s been like this for at least a year. I even get a little winded getting up to pee at night and the bathroom is only about 20 feet from my bed.
