Yes, I feel out of breath when walking upstairs. I usually have no pens, but 6 mos ago I had same symptoms I went to an urgent care and they drew blood. 20 mins later they said my count was very low (maybe) internal bleeding. I left against des orders, told them I would go to the Dr next day or so. Never did and the prob went away. But it is back and I have achy front lower abdominal pain. Have rectal prolapse too. Im only 54 but Ive had 3 hydroxide/hernia operations. Ill quit talking!
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Shortness of breath can occur as a result of different conditions such as : (1) heart failure, (2)anemia, (3)angina, (4) lung conditions such as pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax they said a count is low, they may be referring to your hemoglobin level, meaning that you are anemic. It would be best for you to visit your doctor for an assessment which would include physical examination and likely a repeat of blood tests. The source of the low blood count needs to be determined. I hope this helps
