What Causes Shortness Of Breath Inspite Of Healthy Fitness Regime?
I have shortness of breath at rest, but not when exercising. I had an echocardiogram, EKG, and Holter monitor. All were normal. I am a male 36 yrs, 204 lbs. I exercise 5 times each week jogging 5-6 miles for a total of 25-30 miles a week. I am a little worried about the shortness of breath and wondering what is causing it.

Hi,
I understand your concerns.
As you are having shortness of breath at rest but not when exercising, while cardiac tests are normal, then, you need to evaluate the status of your lungs.
Chest X-ray and respiratory function test are highly recommended.
All the best!
