I get short of breath on exertion how can i exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your MD: Of course you breathe faster with exercise but if you become very short of breath with a little exercise say climbing a few steps or getting dressed your doctor needs to determine why now! if this is very serious exercize might be unsafe or require a very long time to build up under supervision.
