Shortness of breath
I am feeling shortness of breath continuously for a long time and nearly everyday (feeling like I can't breathe deeply/fully, and as if air/gas is stuck inside my chest).
Sometimes feeling dizziness and difficulty to concentrate.
Previously I use to feel this only occasionally, usually during exercises or bad weather.
But since last 1/2 months it is increasing and now I feel short of breath almost everyday, even when I am at rest and even when there are no triggers.
It can be mentioned that I take verapamil 40 mg 3 times a day since last 3 months to keep tachycardia and hypertension in control.
