What Causes Lightheadedness And Fainting Sensation?
For the last 2 weeks or so, I ve been feeling like I can t get a deep enough breath. I get light-headed and feel like I m going to faint. This feeling comes and goes. I am a former smoker but I quit 14 years ago. I am not coughing, I don t have a sore throat, there is no mucous coming up and my lungs sound clear. I don t feel congested in my chest. I m a surfer and swimmer and I work out daily. What s up?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms could be due to some viral infection just wait for some time and it will be fine, if the symptoms persist then this need to be investigated with clinical examination, hope this information, take care and have a nice day.
