How can I tell if my shortness of breath is heart-related?

The most effective way to find out what’s causing your breathlessness is to see a respiratory specialist. Signs that your symptoms may be linked to your heart include swelling in your legs, ankles, or feet, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, fatigue, wheezing, or a cough that won’t go away.
