Depends on the cause of the shortness of breath.
If you smoke, stop.
If you are obese, lose weight
exercise more.
You need to be evaluated by a doctor.
You could have a respiratory condition, a heart condition, or you could be out of shape, and about a thousand other diagnosis.

There are many reasons for shortness of breath. Call your doctor and make an appointment. Depending on the cause you may need to take medication, lose weight, exercise, stop smoking, and/or practice relaxation. If you want to be proactive before you get into see the doctor start a log. Keep track of when you become short of breath and the activities you were doing immediately before. This will help both you and your doctor find any patterns.

There are several things that can cause it. Have you had a stress test or echocardiogram? I found out I had a heart attack and didn't know it. I was getting really tired and out of breath. Cardio pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, panic attacks and overweight can cause it. I'm sure there are more.You need to see a Doctor and tell him/her what is going on. Putting it off can be dangerous.
