Sorry for TMI…

when myself and my husband have sex, he gets worryingly out of breath, this has only come on in the past 3 months or so, he has had a chest x ray and that was fine, he has got a heart scan later on today so won’t know the results for that until next week. He is 69 years old so obviously he’s not going to be like a 30 year old anymore (in his head he thinks he is), is this common to get out of breath during sex? He still works and exercises but sex is the only time he gets like it.

many thanks!

You'd be better off asking MNHQ to move this into general health.
