Hi and thanks for using the forum.
You really need to see your doctor about this. Your tiredness, low energy, etc. could all be related to your frequent episodes of shortness of breath. There are a number of possible causes, so the best thing for you to do would be for you to see your doctor and have some tests (maybe some blood work and possible a chest x-ray). I would get this done sooner rather than later. Good luck.

I too have been battling with the same thing. But less time. I too have to sometimes hold on to something to really get that deep breath. Mine started after I got back from Africa. I've been to a lot of doctors and they have done many tests. Everything has come back to normal... But I still have the shortness of breath.
