Where to go for Shortness of Breath?

Posted by pedrito @pedrito, Jun 1, 2021

Several are the causes of shortness of breath. Most prominent are the lungs and heart. Both have been discarded in my case by specialists. I am considering a second opinion with a doctor at Mayo. However, who I should see? A cardiologist? A pulmonologist? Any suggestions? Also, it is true that Mayo has an multidisciplinary group of doctors who will review you case if the treating doctor cannot find a cause? Your responses/views will be highly appreciated. Is this the right group to ask for guidance?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Health Support Group.

I go to Mayo in Eau Claire. I would start with a pulmonologist, Not sure if it this will work for you. I love my PA pulmonologist!Once you have a team at Mayo,they work together and leave detailed notes on my Mayo portal. I have an internist,a thoracic surgeon,pulmonologist, cardiologist. Sending prayers to you!
