Hello @boredsilly

As @kanaazpereira mentioned, I have had 2 cardiopulmonary exercise tests and it is a good test, especially where breathing problems are concerned. It is different than the traditional stress exercise test in that you wear a facial mask apparatus over your mouth and your oxygen levels are recorded as well as the EKG (heart information). You will probably need to visit a larger medical center in order to have this test. Here is some information from Mayo regarding this test, http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(11)60946-4/pdf

I would certainly recommend a second opinion. How long have you had this problem?

After another hospital stay, diagnosed with UTI-feeling better as yesterday went shopping & to my appointment at the clinic.Tried to make dinner, but had a relapse, starting to sweat & the same old tired feeling! Guess I overdid it!!

Sounds like you've been through this routine a few times, so probably know what next step is. If like me, it is back to the doctor and meds.
