Keep Looking: Nothing you've got there has given you an answer yet. The most common answer of course are obesity and/or lack of regular exercise. If you exercise all the time, and that's where trouble starts, asthma or exercise-induced asthma is often to blame. Cholesterol should have nothing to do with it.
