Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu's Response

Hello,

Many causes for breathless like allergic bronchitis or bronchial asthma or infection or cardiac failure or anemia. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done ECG, chest X-ray, and echocardiogram. Use tablet Deriphyllin for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
