Deconditioning may very well contribute to a lack of fitness, but something unusual from what you normally experience could be attributed to something else as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There is no diagnosis of exercise intolerance, but this is something that is worth bringing up to a health care provider when there seems to be no logical explanation.

Issues related to the heart can also cause breathlessness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pay attention to the pattern. Breathlessness that comes back again and again with activities that used to be easy, gets progressively worse, or is associated with chest pain, dizziness, abnormal fatigue, or palpitations may need to be evaluated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The crucial point is not that a person sometimes feels short of breath.
