What Causes Breathlessness And Heavy Breathing While Exercising?
I just read about pulmonary edema and I am concerned. I started jogging little by little at a track near my home. I expand my run to a 1/4 mile and started experiencing like gaging when breathing through my nose. I started to breathe heavily through my mouth. This is uncommon for me I have always been a jogger off and on. I just turned 60 and what I think, physical fit. Is this something that I should be concerned with?

Hello there
I understand your concern
It is possible that you may be experiencing a rise in blood pressure on jogging thereby leading to early breathlessness.
It will be better if you simulate the same on a Tread mill. the picture may become clearer
hope that helps
