exertion

I have just come out of hospital due to breathlessness on any exertion. My x ray and ecg were fine and a blood test to see if there was a blood clot anywhere was negative.

I am still really breathless, but can get no answer as to what it might be, either from the respiratory nurse or the doctors. Has anyone else ever had this problem
