This : This sounds like exercise induced bronchospasm or asthma. You should see your doctor for a more detailed history and physical. If this is the problem then you may benefit from an inhaled medication called albuterol. This can be taken about 15 minutes before physical activity. Otherwise heart conditions and other causes of fatigue (anemia, thyroid issues) need to be ruled out as well. All the best.
