A member asked:
Is it possible for lack of exercise to cause shortness of breath at times. use to work out often just haven't been motivated as much anymore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only on exertion: Lack of exercise shouldn't make you short of breath on ordinary activity, just on heavier exertion, like playing ball as a weekend warrior. If you are short of breath on ordinary activity like walking and housework, that might need attention to check your heart and lungs and rule out a situation like anemia.
