[|Human|] When lifting heavy items or climbing stairs, I get short of breath. I am a 37 year old female. This started a year ago. At the onset of this problem, I had test ran on my heart and everything came back fine. The allergy doctor tested my lung function and everything was fine. What could be the problem?
[|AI|]  Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. Feeling short of breath with lifting heavy weight or climbing stairs may be due to many reasons. As your cardiac evaluation and lung function are normal, I would suggest you to get blood hemoglobin done. If it is low, you could take iron tablets along with folic acid & vitamin B12 tablets for a few months. Also, if you are not accustomed to lifting heavy weights or climbing stairs since long and if you have started these activities recently, that may also be the cause. Even obesity/overweight may be the cause. In these cases, I would suggest you to consult a good physio trainer who will advise you're regarding diet and exercise. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish you best of the health. Regards.
