[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m out of breath walking up hills and a flight of stairs and always have been.   Have never been able to figure out why (did the treadmill test once upon a time, lung function test, lung ct scans etc).  I am fairly active and this happens even in periods of my life when I’m exercising cardio regularly.   I’ve just accepted this is who I am, at 45.  I work through this and yes have a hard time conversing while walking uphill.  [/quote]

OP here again. Yes, I've always been like that too. Years ago, for something unrelated, I had a stress test done and it was normal, but perhaps it was too long ago and I need to have it done again. I've been hiking in the mountains and walking all my life, but I do get out of breath quickly. It's only just dawned on me that some other people aren't like this.

I will ramp up exercise intensity and see if I can get better.

OP, I would get checked out BEFORE you change exercise intensity. I'd also get checked for exercise induced asthma, another possibility for your symptoms.
