Breathing issue while speaking
My father breaths fine normally however he feels out of breath when speaking.
He has been through open heart surgery in January 2021 and has developed this symptom after surgery. It is getting worst day by day.
Please suggest what needs to be done for diagnosis and recommend further
consultation.
Thank you,
Nayan
