Why am I short of breath during the day?

Question

Why am I short of breath during the day?

Answer 1

Are your ankles swollen?  Do you watch your sodium/salt intake?  Is it hard to breath when you are sleeping?   I would go see a Dr as soon as possible.

Answer 2

You need to give more info,  are you short of breath at rest? does it occur if you exert youself? Do you have any underlying medical conditions? do you have pain anywhere? are you overweight? How many pillows do you sleep with? Do you or anyone you live with smoke? Are you short of breath at home and at work? Do you have any allergies? Any medications?
