I should get back onto your doctor something isn't right. But they have obviously done all the obvious tests. But still need to find out what the problem is. Take care Brian

Hi Gus

last summer I had similar breathlessness onset, lasted about 3 months and then almost completely gone basically overnight.

Then about three months ago started again along with pains in my back and in my ribs,

Chest X Ray, Spiometer test, CT scan - nothing showing.

I have B12 deficciency and sleep apnea

Doctor thinks it's related to sleep apnea, poor fitness and poor posture.

I tend to find it abates after a couple of drinks - is it all in my head?

Not what you're looking for?
