<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Every time I take a bath, I experience shortness of breath.

Do you think this is caused by the moisture in the air somehow inhibiting O2CO2 transfer in my alveoli?  <response>: Hi, If you have a regular problem while taking bath, avoid using the shower, water vapor might be causing the obstruction. Visit ER, get all the tests doneCBC, X-Ray chest, Imaging tests to rule out COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis or tuberculosis.
