My husband has been feeling extremely tired and short of breath lately, It all started when he was diagnosed about a year ago with pulmonary embolisem in his lungs following radiation treatment for prostate cancer. He was put on warfaren. He had a scan and it showed no clots so the doctor took him off the warfaren. He continues to get worse, cant even walk to the mail box without his heart pounding. He recentley had a stress test and it said they cannot relue out mild inferor wall ischemia. He will be seeing a cardiologist. What should he do next? and should he refrain from normal acivity?
Shortness of breath after radiation therapy could be a cardiac problem echo test should be done. I would advise him to keep an oxygen cylinder in home. Regards Chat Doctor.
