What Causes Breathlessness And Fatigue In A Teenager?
Hi, I m a teenager and this year I ve been getting very tired very quickly when i climb up stairs or even run. Is this just due to lack of exercise or could it be quite serious? I have over the past years had sudden moments where I can t take deep breaths for 5 seconds or so, so have to hold my breath.
