A member asked:

What are the causes of exercise intolerance, and how does one acquire the disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be serious: A severe drop in your ability to exercise should be evaluated by a doctor. Although it could be as minor as a cold, or just overtraining, it could be an early sign of a serious heart or lung condition.
