Maybe: Asthma is one of dozens of causes. You need to be evaluated to determine the cause of your breathlessness.

Not online: The causes vary from lung issues to heart issues to blood issues and more. Without reviewing your history, doing an exam and testing as needed there is no way to ake that determination. I suggest you schedule a visit and have it evaluated. It may be something easily fixed or something life changing.
