What Causes Breathing Difficulty?
Been having a very hard time breathing. Test were done and x-rays say my lungs are clear. One pulmonary says dyspenia and I have mild sleep apnea. Nothing is coming back from test to say what the problem could be. Cardiologist says my arteries are fine after double bypass. What could be causing this?

Hello,
Anaemia or hypothyroidism or obesity or lung infection or bronchial asthma or allergy or heart failure may cause breathing problems.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Need echocardiography, chest x-ray, pulmonary function tests, haemoglobin status and thyroid profile.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
