Gayle, Her doctor will want to check for conditions like cardiac arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, and other conditions. I would not exclude stress, panic or anxiety attacks, either--all can cause shortness of breath. I hope she will take with her all medications she is currently using, including over-the-counter meds. It can also help greatly if a loved one or neighbor goes with her--sometimes in the stress of a doctor visit, we forget some important points. -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD Editor-in-Chief, "Spotlight on Food--nutrition news for people 60-plus" Tel: 970-493-6532 Fax: 970-493-6538 http://www.fortnet.org/~fivstar You may wish to contact: Better Business Bureau of the Mountain States, < [log in to unmask]> for further information.
