Could be panic attacks whatever those are

That’s what happens to me when my heart’s QTc interval is prolonged. I just feel like I can’t quite catch my breath but the oxygen saturation is fine. I don’t know, maybe request an EKG.

@Rainstorm , are you overweight? Extra weight can weigh your chest down and make you feel out of breath more easily

I went through a spell of losing ‘puff’ when at rest. Lying to sleep I would lurch up in panic. Was a horrible experience

For me it was a panic problem. Luckily it seemed to resolve itself.

If all else checks out, this is likely the reason you’re short of breath.

I know it’s hard, but losing weight will help you feel better

I’m also obese and I’m noticing I run out of air faster than when I’m thin.

I’m working on losing weight now.
