Please let us know if you learn more at the Mayo Clinic or other places. While finding nothing is frustrating, it's also comforting there is apparently nothing dire. What is the heart condition? Seems like maybe the heart could be the culprit.

@stew80 I have been going through the same thing for the past 11/2 years. I went to my primary, he sent me to my cardiologist, cardiologist sent me to Abbott for a Angiogram and ct scan.
Xray lead down the path of stage 4 lung cancer. Started treatment in October with Chemo and Immunotherapy. After 6 months still complained of continuing shortness of breath. Oncologist insisted this was not from the lung cancer or the drugs. I went back to my pulmonologist, she tested me more specifically for other causes of my shortness of breath. Turns out it is COPD and Emphysema. Something I don't want to have but I am no longer looking for the cause.
I was given two types of inhalers, they help but certainly no cure.
I hope you find your cause.
