See a physiatrist: It is wise of you to investigate these limitations. However, this isn't something that can be answered generally, and requires an understanding of your body habitus, history of training, planned activities, etc. A Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist can assist you in assessing your overall limitations by both evaluating your various tests and your physical examination.
