Have Shortness Of Breath While Walking, Carrying Objects. Normal Angiogram, Nuclear Stress Test. Have Spurs In Neck
My wife is 67 years old. She excerices 4 - 5 days a week on threadmill and stationary bike. But when walking and carrying something sometimes she has to stop because of short of breath or chest pain. Sounds like heart problems but she has runned all the test including angia gram and neuclar stress test twice, nothing has ever showed up. She has been having this problem 8 years. As soon as she gets the pain she stops walking and immediately it goes away. She has spurs in her neck this was her cardiologist that said it may be something linked to that.

Hi,
From history it seems that as all cardiac tests are clear, there is possibility of having degenerative changes in her cervical spines producing pressure or irritation on nerves during exercise giving rise to this problem.
Avoid stranious exercise.
Go for slow walking, swimming exercise.
Consult ortopedic surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
