i am having a hard time breathing, I have insufficient air in my lungs when I breathe and must gasp for air. I yawn too much. I am a semi-professional marathon runner and do not understand this problem that started 1 month ago. Is there anything I can do?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... You have air hunger problem.... First if you have stress full situation than it can occur.... So avoid taking stress..... Then after asthma or any other obstructive lung disease has to be rule out. Pulmonary function test by spirometry will be useful for it.... If needed chest x-ray done .... Just check your blood pressure .... If No cause found then cardiac cause like heart failure ruled out by ECHO (although chances very less).... Take care ... Consult pulmonologist for it. .
