What Causes Breathlessness And Dry Throat After Walking?
Very short walking distance (20 ft) and I am breathing so heavy that I need to breath through my mouth which in turn dries out my throat and mouth tissues making swallowing very difficult. My breathing during exercise was fine only 3 months ago. It feels like I am not getting enough O2, I become dizzy, lightheaded, and it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to get to a point where my breathing returns to normal. I figure the cold temp. might be causing some of the shortness of breath, but not as much as I am experiencing.

you really need to check with a cardiologist if the heavy symptoms are there in short time , get done ur echocardiography n stress EKG as per my say , rest as Cardiologist suggest . but one serious advice not to delay . shortness of breath can b due to two reasons one is blockage in arteries of heart, irregular rhythm, or lungs are the culprit but must go to heart specialists first
