Issues breathing after activity
For the last two years I have been having issues with breathing after certain things. Now I can get out of the shower and and have shortness or breath. The biggest issue and time is during or after sex. It can take me up to 5 minutes to actually start breathing decent, and during that time, I am gasping for air. I have had a stress test and it came back normal and strong, and I have been to a lung specialist and they said everything looked great. Trying to figure out what else could be causing
