Breathless with exercise

The feeling is that my lungs won’t expand. Feels like trying to blow up a balloon while it’s being held tightly in your hand. Chest is tight, no pain, crust won’t expand.
I’ve had an every test possible, the pulmonary function test was normal except low DLCO. All cardiac test show normal except mild thickening of left ventricular. Inhalers have not helped. Breathless comes during non exercising, when my adrenaline goes up it occurs. It happened while watching a scary movie. Cardiac NP said nothing he can do. I’m waiting for an appt with my primary care

Hi. This might be out in left field, but do you have anxiety on and off , or on a regular basis? Stress and anxiety can cause a host of problems. If so, try turning off social media if you engage in it. Stretching or listening to relaxing music can help relax you. Anything to quiet your mind.I hope this may help you. Take care.
