Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern
Shortness of breath while standing and walking can occur due to cardiac issues like coronary artery disease and pulmonary issues like asthma. EKG, chest Xray ,pulmonary function test are recommended at this point. So please be advised to follow up with your primary care provider for further evaluation and management.
