My wife complains that she breathes heavily if she walks a few meters, runs, lifts heavy weight or does housework like floor cleaning. Her blood report shows haemoglobin 11.3 and blood sugar is normal. What steps should I take in this situation?

Breathlessness may be due to low normal haemoglobin or other issues like vitamin deficiency or heart/lung causes. A cardiac evaluation and pulmonary function test are advised. Please consult a physician.
