What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Weakness In The Legs?

I have shortness of breath and am wondering why this would happen. It feels like I can t take another breath. It happens when I am walking from one short point to another. When I sit down, it gets better and then goes away. If its bad I sweat profusely and my legs feel weak. This started yesterday and is continuing into today.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having breathlessness on exertion (walking) associated with sweating.
So we should should definitely rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms.
So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of reports.
Don't worry, with appropriate treatment, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
