Hi Pete and welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm sorry that you are having such a tough time. When I became a Mentor for this group I became so frustrated with this symptom because there are so many different reasons why people can get this. So I asked my own pulmonologist and he said that in recent years obesity has surpassed heart problems for dyspnea.
I'm sure that you have heard every rant and rave about being overweight even if you haven't reached obesity. You don't mention this in your post. Are you on a diet to help bring your weight down?
