Lung function?: Have you had lung function studies? Being out of breath with mild exertion can come from several causes, including heart and lung problems. Your additional info says you're on atenolol for "tachy heart" -- sounds like your doctors need to continue investigating your problems so that you'll be able to do more of the activities you want to do. Are you seeing cardiologists &/or pulmonologists?

Drug reaction: It is possible that the Gabapentin that you are taking may be causing shortness of breath.
