My husband isn t a jogger and tried jogging today. That was around noon today and his breathing has been off since. He says, it s like not being able to take a full breath. He looks a little pale too. He just used a nebulizer and it didn t seem to help much. He s trying to sleep now and I m just a very worried wife. Do you think we should see a docor now or is it possible to wait until Monday?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Breathlessness on exertion is mostly seen with heart and lung diseases. So better to take him to hospital and get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out cardiac diseases. He will need PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis (lung related disease). So better to consult doctor and diagnose cause for his breathlessness. He might need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
