What does it mean when my shortness of breath is worse when walking than when working out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise dyspnea: Shortness of breath could be a symptom of many diseases. Exercise could worsen shortness of breath in many heart or lung conditions. If you walk uphills or upstairs and your shortness of breath is getting worse, I would suggest you to have the heart and lungs tests with your doctor. If you feel good during your exercises, but have shortness of breath when you walk, it could be anxiety.
