It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Among many possibilities new onset exercise induced asthma should be considered along with a variety of other conditions, anxiety related for example. Your doc remains your best reference going forward.
