Breathlessness / Shortness of Breath Specialist in Guwahati

Breathlessness / Shortness of Breath Specialist in Guwahati

Breathlessness that doesn't match the effort you're putting in — feeling winded climbing stairs, walking on the flat, or even at rest — is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and it deserves to be investigated rather than ignored. The causes range widely: asthma, COPD, lung scarring, anaemia, heart problems, or simply being out of condition. At Breathe Clinic, our pulmonology team uses spirometry and other tests to pin down the actual cause of your breathlessness and treat it at the source, rather than leaving you to wonder.

Reviewed by Dr. Smitakshi Medhi, MD, Consultant Pulmonologist.

Seek care urgently — not a routine booking — if your breathlessness comes on suddenly, is severe, or comes with chest pain, blue lips, or fainting. Those need emergency attention now.

No — it can come from the lungs, heart, blood (anaemia), or fitness level. A proper assessment identifies which, so you get the right treatment.

Usually with a breathing test (spirometry), and sometimes a chest X-ray, ECG, or blood tests, depending on your history.

Some breathlessness with hard effort is normal; breathlessness with mild activity that's new or worsening is not, and should be checked.
