SucChatDoctorplaints are more commonly due to Anemia. However, heart diseases, respiratory diseases can also cause sucChatDoctorplaints. To confirm diagnosis investigations like 2D Echo, X-ray chest, PUT, CBC etc. are required. For 2D Echo you need to consult cardiologist. Cardiologist will to 2D Echocardiography which may identify exact lesion in the heart responsible for murmur and breathlessness etc.
