If your grocery bags are as big as mine I would think most might be out of breath in your time but you didn’t not say if this was on level ground, uphill, or stairs. If you have leg swelling or get up at night to pee could be early signs of heart failure. Discuss with your Dr then get back with us again.

Urge you visit with your primary care physician and have full evaluation with cardiac and pulmonary testing. Do include blood studies, especially for anemia, but also check for thyroid and glucose functions. Alternatively, an evaluation screening could be done at HT via a virtual consult, which could suggest directions for interventions. (www.connect@healthtap.com)
