Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to history you are having mild asthma and so it can lead to dyspnea on exertion. According to my opinion you should consult pulmonologist for spirometry examination and according to spirometry report we can decide further management. Kindly check your CBC report also to rule out anemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
