I am a 37 year old female having chest righting shortness of breath and Ive been to the hospital for it and nothing was wrong with mu heart. I dont smoke anymore and over gotten down to a healthy weight.any suggestions on possible diagnoses
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you were smoker, we should definitely rule out lung related diseases (bronchitis) for your symptoms. So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
