Breathlessness when I walk too much
Hello doctors, I am a type-1 diabetic and also have thyroid. I am also taking anxiety medicines. Usually i used to have panic attacks which would cause me breathlessness but whenever I walk to much I feel suffocated. Are there any tests that would confirm me if there's any problem. I don't have wheezing. I just feel suffocated.
Please mention any tests to confirm if I have any problem in breathing.
Thankyou and appreciate it.
