Breathing problems

Hello All, I was admitted to the hospital in February 2015 with v-tach. After all the testing, no cause has been determined. I had a Boston Scientific ICD placed and I take 75 mg. of metoprolol per day. Since around April I started getting shortness of breath on mild exertion. It has since gotten much worse, it can happen with no exertion. After many more tests, the doctors can see that my oxygen sat is tanking, but again no cause has been found. I was wondering if anyone in the community here has experienced this or knows someone who has similar issues. Thanks!

It could be the meds

Metoprolol can cause breathing issues see if you can take less or something else. Bring this to their attention. My Pulmonologist told me this.
