What Causes Breathlessness And Heavy Breathing After Brisk Walking?

.i do not feel ill, but this really tired me out today. I am used to being able to do almost anything I want in the way of movement, but I have not run or walked fast for any distance in at least the past couple of years.
Could be a normal reaction of the organism, if you don't use to
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
If it was physical activity that you don't used to, breathlessness can be normal reaction of your organism, as your heart, lung and muscles are not trained for that physical activity.
Breathlessness can be caused also in obese people without any disease.
But we shouldn't forget about cardiovascular diseases, especially if there are risk factors such as heredity, excessive weight, smoking, diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure.
To be in the safe side, I would advise you to see your doctor for cardiovascular check up, especially if there is another episode.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
