You experience shortness of breath
People who experience shortness of breath describe this feeling as an exhausting cardio activity. In other words, you might feel like you’ve run at a sprint.Â
That being said, these symptoms can be perfectly normal during your workout, but if you don’t exercise regularly, it can be a sign that something strange is happening to your body and you should schedule a medical consultation as soon as possible.Â
According to cardiologist Barbara Roberts, MD, “women may experience shortness of breath with exertion when their heart muscle isn’t getting sufficient blood supply, and not have any chest discomfort at all.”
“In addition, women are more likely than men to have so-called ‘silent heart attacks,’ during which they may just have shortness of breath, nausea, or severe fatigue—not chest pain,” she continued.
