Why do i get short of breath when i bend over?

Overweight?: If you're overweight, then your abdomen could be compressed when you bend over. This would shove your diaphragm upwards, limiting the expansion of your lungs. Then you could feel short of breath. You may want to talk with your doctor about this, so it can be addressed however it needs to be.
