Hi,
I would suggest to get CBC especially hemoglobin percentage. If hemoglobin is normal and still you get breathless after exertion should go for stress test to exclude any heart problem. Psychological stress / anxiety or tension cause it if both above tests are normal. In that case, you need to consult a neuro-physician for specific medication or counselling.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
