There may be more behind it.
Getting winded after physical activity can happen. But if climbing stairs or walking short distances used to feel easy and now leaves you unusually short of breath, it may be worth finding out why.
Shortness of breath with activity can be linked to several possible causes, including:
โข Anemia
โข Heart conditions
โข Lung conditions
โข Low fitness or deconditioning
If your shortness of breath is new, getting worse, or accompanied by chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or swelling of the feet or ankles, consult a doctor.
Depending on your symptoms and medical history, your doctor may recommend:
โ
CBC
โ
ECG
โ
2D Echocardiogram
โ
Chest X-ray, when appropriate
