A member asked:
Why would an obese, non smoker breathe heavily all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obesity: Obesity in and of itself can cause labored breathing with fairly minimal exercise just due to deconditioning. Having said that, I should say that there may be heart/lung diseases that need to be ruled out. I suggest you see your doc to discuss that.
