A member asked:

Is it normal after laying around all day to feel a little out of breath when going up and down the stairs? i don't experience it when walking around

I suspect normal : The real test is how you breathe with exercise. If you're fine walking around this is probably nothing specific. You could always check with your physician and get a cardiac check up if necessary
