Heat intolerance does bring on weakness, which could explain the leaden feeling. You are the first person I have heard ask about the breathing and heat, though. It is quite possible ....

Be sure to discuss this with your doctor. And you might want to look into some of the perosnal cooling devices that are available to help you control your core temperature.

be well,
Lulu
