Exercise test?: If you have most problem in getting air in and the shortness of breath starts in less than 10 minutes after exercise, vocal cord dysfunction (in which the throat closes up during breathing instead of opening up), needs be considered. An ENT evaluation may be helpful. Absent that, I would recommend an exercise tolerance test to find out the cause.
