Cardiologist,  's  Response
Dear patient,

Thanks for the query. With exercise, your blood pressure increases as a normal response, and sometimes we can feel the pulsation in our ears, in the back of the head or the neck; however, difficulty breathing would be unusual. An exercise test would be able to monitor your blood pressure response and see if there is reproducible shortness of breath, since the symptoms are only exertional.

Hope that helps, wish you the best,
