I walk 8-10 miles/day - no breathlessness unless I am walking at elevation or up a steep hill; I DO get breathless upon exertion - lifting a heavy ladder, etc. I also get breathless when I bend over at the waist (90 degrees) to put the harness on my dog. I have watched your videos on POTS... I have to watch further, as I didn't see a remedy. I had an echo and it showed my heart is structurally normal with no valve problems. I am scheduled for a Heart Flow Analysis (vs. the nasty Angiogram w/dye) in the next month, so we shall see what that says. I am seeing my cardiologist in two days and am going to mention the breathlessness and ask for a chest xray, just to rule things out. Keep up the great work - we all appreciate your knowledge and empathy.

[@karlaelvis9815]

@@turbompson4546 The cardiologist would not give me a referral for either of these things; he did give me a referral to an electrophysiologist. In the meantime I've started taking d-Ribose to the effects of "calcium leaking outside the cells" - within the heart. I don't know if I have this, but a recent DEXA scan shows some bone loss (even though I was a daily runner for 47 years and still walk as noted above)... my belief is that the calcium that I ingest is not being "absorbed into the bones" - and could be floating around where it doesn't belong. In addition, I'm now taking K2 to drive the calcium into the bones, and potassium (to balance out the calcium)

Never STOP taking then or any med without doctors approval. I did it on my own but slowly. Again not under my doctors approval. I am sure .y blood pressure it a wreck. But I also went straight keto diet which tends to help bp... you are so young so.. I would def rethink what ur systems where before beta blockers.

About six months ago I started having extreme breathlessness in the early morning hours around 02.00-03.00 (in the morning). On the third morning I actually hyperventilated and could not sleep. I went to the ER and had all the relevant testing. They finally gave me an inhaler as I requested in the first place and I left with a follow up appointment. I was looking at my blood work results and found I was very anemic. They never even mentioned this to me. It has taken months of increasing my iron intake via diet, food combining to help absorption and supplementation (also breathing exercises). Feeling very well now. I also bought a jump rope to use during the day as my work is centered around the computer. My point is look at your blood tests. If there isn't enough oxygen in your RBCs damage and death can happen. Thank you for your video 🙂

I am a man aged 70 who suffers with breathlessness caused by angina which was only diagnosed about 10 years ago even though it started to be a problem 30 years ago....I started to struggle on stairs and even collapsed once or twice,but never had any chest pain until 10 years ago when I began to experience chest pressure on walking uphill which became a problem.But if I stopped for just a few seconds the pressure subsided.It was a strange sensation but I literally could not take another step, I felt like something inside was about to burst open!Anyway I had the angiogram ,got the angina diagnosis...I have more than one narrowed artery,and I was given the Nitromin spray which I never got on with....It did not prevent the breathlessness,in fact it made it worse ...I literally had to wait for the stuff to wear off before I could take a single step.Believe it or not I still have not used up the first spray I was given 10 years ago!But lately my symptoms have worsened and I often feel like I am about to pass out even walking up a slight incline and I start staggering like a drunken man,It's made me reluctant to go out but I am alone and need to get to the shops on foot.

I can relate to you all. I am short of breath and it all started 9 months ago. Seen a pulmologist, cardiolist, and some many trips to the PC. Lungs are fine, they did all kinds of test my lungs check out good. I do have AFIB but only occasionally after much study and research I don't think its my heart causing it but it could be. The labored breathing is such a mystery I can't figure it out. I am fit I walk miles every day and not out of breath. I had a stress test done (2 hours) on the treadmill everything was near perfect. Even now as I type when I take a deep breath every 2 or 3 breaths dont' seem to fill the lungs but I can breathe. It is so strange to try to find the cause. Could be plain ole anxiety. I lost my wife 5 years ago and my son 3 years ago lots of stress and the pros say stress is aculmulative it never leaves you you just manage it throughout your lifetime. I deep breathe this sometimes helps. Its like something in either my gut or diaphram is causing it. Still looking for answers. The docs don't know what it is, they just tell me what it IS NOT..more or less. My minerals I take daily I have a great diet I walk I do all the things you are supposed to do. I many never find out but I will not stop trying.

@@devendra4233 Ya it is a crazy thing All my life I have been good. It is either a mineral dificicency, stress, physical issue (which I am trying t rule out) or something else. I made a list and wrote down the following. Good or bad marriage, unforgiving someone, bad relationship somewhere, Physical trama, in trouble with the gov or something, or some other issue..all of them checked out. The only thing that seems to keep coming back to me is one thing STRESS. That's where I am thinking is causing this breathlessness especially losing 2 of my loved ones which was real hard on me. But even then still not sure. I didn't have stress breathing issue before they died, that I know. Well I will continue to update the findings.

[@labradax]

Sorry for your loss, recently loss loved ones this is probably the cause. I had to change the my Philosophy on death after my experience. That helped.

[@latoyadunlap3575]

Maybe allergies

[@martinmi5]

I have the same problems and my heart and lungs have been ruled out. I was told it could be a hiatal hernia, which does have to do with the diaphram so you might want to have that tested.

Thank you sir for ur information. And what is the reason for breathelessnesswhen some one lying flat.

[@wethepeople9161]

This is exactly what’s happening to me. It happens the second I fall asleep. And usually at night. But I e also noticed it during the daytime when trying to take a nap. I smoke daily, take about 300mg of caffeine daily, and drink alcohol 4-5 beers a night. I’m really gonna start trying to change my lifestyle/bad habits- cause this is scary. And it’s keeping me from sleeping. Thanks to everyone who posted a comment and thank you Dr. for the video. Good luck to everyone experiencing this same thing. - And God bless.

How you doing now

@@carmella88 I’m doing way better. I found out that it’s related to diabetes. And that I was eating chocolate at night at bedtime to calm my sweet tooth. I have been eating better and feeling better. Thanks for asking.

I do have a idea on how to stable your breathlessness , it worked for me , but im not sure if it work the same for you. 1. Dont panic and sit up right 2. Dont take a deep breathe for as long as you can 3. Try to focus on something else that can fully distract you from the breathlessness Keep in mind that this is a idea from a random stranger and *NOT* a docter.

After a major heart attack, i am facing shortness of breathing during slipping but no problem during walking, I can walk continue 45-60 minutes without any shortness of breath or any chest discomfort. All problems occur at night while laying down or sleeping. My EF is at 50% after HA.

[@valeriemathis7550]

Thanks for the information on breathlessness. I have this issue at rest very often

[@totallyclyde3156]

Another way is by relaxing, It can help, just try not to think about it (currently with it right now)

[@panagiotaras-ni7dr]

Did it go away?

Very useful info and you have a pleasant way of explaining the facts.

I feel a little breathless at rest, even i have slight chest pains frequently (throughout the day or at night), but none of them on exertion. Its like i feel better when running on my indoor bicycle. Thanks for the info.

thank yoU!

[@Itsridwaaan]

Thank you Doctor. I use to get breathlessness and gasping almost every minute to get some breath. i kept waking up every few minutes on sleep gasping for air due to stopped breathing midsleep, that it really scares me as i hardly sleep for a week as IM afraid to die midsleep not breathing. But it doesnt affect my exercise especially football or futsal (as its actually a lung demanding sport) instead i only feel better when im doing sport. Then i realized Its actually Acid reflux disease instead of heart disease. Then i fix my eating schedule i also take medication like sucralfate. But i think the one that helps me the most is doing jogging almost every morning and afternoon. I really get the getting better feeling from doing that. Rn im much healthier even tho sometimes i also still get breathlessness but its coming just from my anxiety. And this video helps me get through it. Thank you do

[@satchkinpatchkin]

Never knew what it felt like untell one day as a kid at the park I fell on my back and got the wind knocked out me trying to gasp for air was the scariest thing ever only last like 5 seconds but it was 5 scary seconds

I have no problem when exercising but when I'm in bed, relaxing I can't inhale just half of a normal inhale...it's like someone is sitting on my chest

[@RaZoRxan]

it could be gastroesophageal reflux

[@citrus1008]

Ady Adrian Ive had shortness of breath since I was 11 and I am 12

[@DidiGrooves]

Same here. I am looking under every fucking rock right now. So far I have found out for me specifically, that it might be an anxiety attack in work. I am getting off caffeine right now and I'm reading that anxiety can be a major issue when quitting caffeine. It also might be connected to exhausted adrenal glands which is typical when you consume caffeine heavily. Most of the anxiety symptoms prove right for me so I think this is something I need to figure out. Can also be COPD, but in my case, I have no mucus and when I distract myself in bed with watching something or reading, then suddenly it's back to normal. So, I just read/ watch myself to sleep as a temporary treatment until I figure how to fix the stress or deficiencies that I might have...

[@freeurmind__]

I've had the same problem for about a a few months. I went on a strict diet eating nothing but veggies. It went away. But then I started to slack off eating stuff i shouldn't eat and it came back. I've had a scan and it came back normal.

[@abbracia]

Thank you for this video.

[@fembot521]

My husband had Long QT syndrome that went undiagnosed until his autopsy. He also had asthma so in hindsight I often wonder how many instances of breathlessness were heart related rather than asthma.
