Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath And Indigestion
I have had shortness of breath for over 3 weeks. I have went to my primary care physician 3 times and all 3 times my oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate were fine. EKG and chest X-ray were also clear. I now have indigestion on top of my shortness of breath. I was diagnosed with pleurisy and said it would take a long time to heal. It is hard to breath and exercise(before I worked out 6 days a week). Please help

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Shortness of breath is caused by either pulmonary or cardiac disease.
AS you said that all your investigations come normal most probably it is hyperactive air way disease.
Treat with bronchodilators and steroids either orally or by inhalation after consulting your physician.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
