A member asked:

Is it ok to go up stairs too fast and running out of breath and feeling pressure in the head?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Out of breath : If someone is not in athletic shape someone would get out of breath going up stairs fast. Although, how fast is relative. For some people, this same symptom can be a lung or heart issue. Feeling head pressure can be a result of high blood pressure. It best to ask this of your doctor
