An ECG is not sufficient and that's not even my opinion but that of cardiologists. You need an echocardiogram, where they look at the heart, it's size, structures/valves, etc.

Do you have COPD? I just think that anytime someone has such severe breathing issues that they need to be thoroughly evaluated. And why is the answer always, "Here, take this drug!"

I like to use the example of when I had an undiagnosed B12 deficiency. If my doctor had given me Provigil for my fatigue and Neurontin for my parasthesias, I'd be awake and fairly pain free but I'd eventually be dead, since you can't live without B12.

If a cause isn't found, the condition will continue in spite of any treatment. And the treatment isn't always the correct one! Boy, am I grouchy today.
