A member asked:
Breathless when bending up and down, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bending over: It is, definitely, normal to become winded when bending over. This is due to the mechanical reduction in lung volume that occurs when you compress your diaphragms by bending over. Standing up may make you dizzy but shouldn't make you short of breath.
