Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal
Shortness of breath, especially worsening at night, can be concerning. Given your normal heart tests and cholesterol levels, it might indicate other factors such as anxiety, allergies, or even respiratory issues. It's good that your oxygen levels are stable. A thorough evaluation, including a chest X-ray and possibly a treadmill test (TMT), can provide more insights. I recommend you consult your pulmonologist for further assessment, as they can guide you through appropriate next steps and ensure your well-being.
