A member asked:
I feel out of breath with little exertion.not at rest though.had my oxygen level check year ago when feeling like this, was ok.palps sometimes to.

Out of breath: At your age, feeling out of breath with little exertion is abnormal. An oxygen level check from a year ago is no longer relevant. Your problem could be either lung related or heart related. An examination by your doctor is crucial to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment plan.
