Should i be worried? getting out of breath when bending down.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: This can be common especially if you are overweight. Bending over forces the diaphragm to rise which decreases your total lung capacity. If this has never happened to you before you probably should get a chest xray and see your healthcare provider.
