Hi all
I know this is going to sound strange but what exactly is shortness of breath ?
For the last week or so, I'm very conscious of my breathing and feel that I sometimes have to breathe much more deeply to properly fill my lungs with air. Is that really shortness of breath ? I have no chest pain and my blood pressure is normal.
I don't think it helps that I had a DVT last year, and I've had some recurrent aches in my calf again lately, which has kicked my HA back in that I've now got small PEs developing (my mum died of an undiagnosed PE and my haematologist told me it looks from early tests that I do have a genetic clotting disorder)
Would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks very much, LMS.
