Sometimes breathless after even mild exercise. hr often hits 150+, but settles back to 70-80 when resting. apparently heart is fine. am i just unfit?

Unfit: Most likely just out of shape for that type of exercise. Doing moderate cardio a heart rate in the 150's is not uncommon for untrained young people. However if you are having pain or passing out with exercise please see a heart doctor.
