Shortness of breath: Shortness of breath may have many causes. Need to exclude underlying lung, heart, or neuromuscular disease. Obesity may cause shortness of breath by restricting. Your lung capacity and also with deconditioning. After meals you push your diaphragm and further restrict your lung capacity further. If after evaluation no true disease is found, conditioning exercises is recommended. Good luck.
