Severe Dyspnea with Minimal Exertion: Could it be a Cardiac Condition?

I have severe dyspnea with even minimal exertion; my meds seem to make little/no difference. I am concerned that my issues may be more related to a cardiac condition.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Have you ever had an Echocardiogram? Many things can cause that. Off the top of my head is diseases of the heart, thyroid, lungs, high cortisol/adrenaline, high blood pressure. That's not everything that can cause it. Have you spoken to your Dr.? What's your Dr. say?

  @marilav All cardiac testing shows no heart issues. I must say, though, that all the tests are done while I’m at rest! My symptoms are only apparent beginning with minimal exertion. I’m thinking a Holter monitor would provide better information. Now on Stiolto Respimat and have started Pulmonary Rehab. ‘Hoping for some response/relief.
