What Causes Extreme Fatigue And Breathlessness While Climbing Stairs?
for the past few years it has been harder and harder for me to walk hills ... I m even winded going up a flight of stairs or just recently went to a wedding and one fast dance winded me.. and most the times my legs feel fatigued. I had a physical in January and a stress test which cam back normal.. I m worried that something is wrong.. Where do I start to investigate this issue .
