What Causes Wheezing While Having Sex?

When my husband and I have sex with him on top, I cannot breath and I start wheezing. I have been taking an inhaler for quit sometime, but my Dr does not know why I have the wheezing. I also was diagnosed almost 11/2 years ago with cardiomyopathy. Is this something I should be overly concerned with. It is very frustrating during our lovemaking. I am 61 years, 185#
