A member asked:

Easily tired when doing exercise no heart problems what else could cause it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tired: lots of possibilities, deconditioning, anemia, depression, low thyroid, pulmonary problems, mechanical problems and more. If you start with low levels of exercise and increase slowly over weeks but don't improve, see your doc for evaluation.
