Abnormal breathlessness may be a sign of some other medical problem and should be investigated by a doctor.

Breathlessness can be linked to so many different diseases that a diagnosis can really only be made after careful questioning and examination by a doctor. If the doctor needs more information to tell what is wrong, blood tests, a chest X-ray or maybe breathing tests will be advised.
