Ok my friend has a problem where it hurts her to breathe. She cant do anything and she also has a lot of shorntess of breath. She coughs A LOT. She has a history of cancer in her family. Her mom doesnt smoke and neither does she. This has just recently started. Her doctors cant figure out whats wrong. She has been to numerous doctors who all do the same tests and say the same things. What could be wrong with her? I dont want her to die or get worst, just because we DONT know what this is. If you know any websites that might be able to help then please give them to me! Thanks!

There is a disease called Sarcoidosis, that doctors frequently misdiagnose or overlook. They have to do a biopsy of her lungs to diagnose. Symptoms caused by the disease occurring in the lungs include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing and, sometimes, chest pain.

Seems like the doctors are doing tests and all is OK so they have I'm sure probably checked all the things that were mentioned above here.. Is she asthmatic? Does she have allergies? Those two things would cause alot of coughing and all too but not usually so much pain but the pain maybe is caused by all the coughing? So hopefully it is something more simple like this have her ask her doctors about this and see what they say OK? Good luck to her

Well, im not a doctor.
this could be a number of problems.
COPD, Bronchitis, Fluid buildup in the lungs from and infection, fluid around the heart?
she needs a complete workup and maybe a full body scan.;

I know of a person who had similar problem, they had fluid around their heart, they were given medicine and recovered, but they stayed in the hospital for the treatment.

She could be so out of shape that anything makes her short of breath. Solution = moderate exercise.
