Suggest Remedies For Shortness Of Breath With Minimal Exertion
I become short of breath with minimal exertion. When exertion sustained, Inhalation is not effected but I feel like I need to force expiration and really am not emptying my lungs. Recovery is only a couple minutes with rest. Exercise tolerance has been gradually lessening over last several years. Episode this week while hurrying to catch a ferry was frightening.
