What Does Shortness Of Breath Indicate?

Hi, I ve had a good deal, some would say, a great deal of trouble with irregular breathing. I seem to get short- winded? Have trouble catching my breath while/after climbing stairs or simply walking around the block to retrieve the mail. Also, my posture placement/stance located at the/on the back of my neck vertibra area as well as muscle area (trapezius?) is basically saturated with aches and pains daily. My spouse seems to think If I d just stop eating so much and work out regularly It would alleviate the problem . I m about 30 pounds over weight. Yet, I feel I would fair well to make an appointment with either a chiropractor or an ears nose and throat specialist and possibly a respiratory expert specialist. I just qualified for insurance yet I d like to know if I should simply start jogging and give up the fried foods. Thank you, Melissa in Arkansas
