What Causes Extreme Fatigue And Shortness Of Breath?
My husband is tired all the time. He is tired when he gets up, when he walks to the mailbox, just anytime. He also has shortness of breath just walking to the mailbox and back. His joints and muscles ache all the time. When I say all, I am not exaggerating.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Extreme fatigue and shortness of breath could be caused due to several causes. Most commonly it could be due to anaemia or cardiac dysfunction.
Kindly get the following tests done, so that underlying cause could be determined and treated accordingly.
1. Complete hemogram and peripheral blood smear.
2. Blood pressure check-up, Cheat X-ray, ECG and Electrocardiogram.
Kindly consult Physician with the reports for clinical evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
