Hi I'm Charlie I've just turnt 24 Recently I've noticed that when I run a short period of time or walk up a long flight of stairs I get really out of breath I don't do any form of exercise and drink a lot and vape so don't really live a healthy lifestyle but don't seem why I get out of breath I'm not over weight I'm 12 stone just worried it's leading to something serious like cancer or death,It might seem stupid but at my age dont see why I'm getting out of breath so easily after a tiny bit of exercise is that normal??
Hey Charlie, please don’t worry, as this is not cancer or anything else. You stated that you don’t normally exercise, so, it’s perfectly normal to feel "out of breath. Your body is not used to it. I would encourage you to keep exercising because, the more you do, the easier it will get. After a while it wont feel so hard. If i were you, I’d start with, not running, but walking briskly, you can then build it up up to running as you get fitter. I know your question isn’t regarding exercise but i am merely pointing out the fact that as you say, you don’t normally exercise, so it’s bound to be knackering at first. Also, the benefits of regular exercise to your mental health is substantial! Please don’t worry, you sound perfectly “human” to me! Keep it up! Donna xxx
do you have any other symptoms?
No other symptoms if I’m honest just worry I’ve sufferd from anexity for a while so tend to read into a lot of different symptoms quite indepthly
