I have put on weight over the last couple of years. In recent years, I have been size 12-14 but over the last two years, I’ve gone up to an 18. Had quite a difficult couple of years with mental health problems due to both parents dying in fairly quick succession. However, mental health currently OK other than that I am drinking a bit too much when I don’t have work the next day and not being happy with my weight.
Since October - when my mum died - I have found myself very short of breath, (I have had asthma for years and this is not like tight chest asthma plus I got to the point where I rarely use my inhaler). I get very out of breath just walking from one room to another and sometimes when I am just sitting down. I also stopped eating meat in September.
Could my breathlessness just be because I’m overweight and unfit, or do I need to see a doctor? Could it be because I stopped eating meat? I am wanting to do more exercise, but I can’t because I am so out of breath!
