What Causes Short Of Breath, Bruises On Eyelids, Carpal Tunnel And Erectile Dysfunction For A Man?
My husband is 49, 6'4", very healthy-fit. He has been having lung restriction and unusual heart beat feelings. The heart doctor has found an occassional extra heart beat that he is not worried about. The lung doctor has tested his lungs for asthma and says his lungs look great. He quickly runs out of breath doing fairly light exercise, like steps. This is VERY unusual. However, when he does the treadmill at the doctor, he seems to do well. Also, he is experiencing small bruises on his eyelids that come and go, carpal tunnel, and erectile dysfunction. Any connections? The doctors are still testing, but hoping you can provide some insight.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have mentioned few symptoms may be due a single disease or multiple problems.
It may be possible with exercise induced asthma in which histamine release during exercise lead to bronchospasm and rash.
You can try antihistamin tablet before exertion and check for above symptoms.
Other possibilities like heart failure or anemia or anxiety neurosis or panic attacks etc.
Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
