Complex answer: There are many things that can cause someone to feel tired all the time-too much to go through in a forum like this. If you're getting plenty of sleep, exercising, eating well and still feeling this way, it's best to see your doctor and have them do a thorough history and physical.

Talk: Tell him how you feel, and focus on yourself and your feelings or he may become defensive or just shut down. You may feel rejected or unwanted, or even scared. Communicaton is important to any relationship. Ask him if everything is ok. Keep an open line of communication during good and bad times.

Distance walking: There are different tests to measure endurance: a six minute walk test is the best distance walked in meters per unit time. This is usually done in a straight line/circular tracks may be used. An incremental shuttle walk involves walking between two cones. You walk as long as you can until breathlessness. The number of shuttles (laps between the cones) is noted; a shuttle = 10 meters.

Dr. Albert Pizzo answered
Family Medicine 60 years experience
Hyperventilate: There are several possibilities. If you mean by hyperventilating you are short of breath with effort of walking fast then it indicates that you may not be getting enough oxygen to your heart. This could be a pulmonary problem or a cardiac problem. You must call your doctor to report this and be examined to find the cause and then properly treated. Do not postpone== this could be serious.

Depends: Yes, it is possible. It depends on many things like age, weight, physical condition, how you land, how far (how many flights or steps). It also depends on the size of the channel for your spinal cord and nerves (varies from person to person, and can be narrowed by degeneration, aging, arthritis). If you have a condition that affects balance, take extra precautions to reduce the risk of falls.
