Short of breath for 5 months

Posted , 3 users are following.

It's been nearly 5 months since my symptoms started.Ive done all of the tests like Echo stress test, Chest X ray, Contrast CT Scan which all came out normal

Every day I feel short of breath.My chest feels very uncomfortable 24/7.they just gave me some anxiety medication that doesn't seem to work.

What else should I do?

Can a CT scan be wrong?

    Hi hazwan69288 have you been referred to a pulmonologist / respirologist for a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)?

    Or a cardiologist?  From what I understand CT's are very accurate.  So that's encouraging.

      I was referred to a Cardiologist and he doesn't know what's wrong with me.

      I had to request the CT scan myself personally to the Radiologist .Still came out normal
