Slight breathlessness and bloating
I have been playing a sport for a few months, however yesterday I felt breathlessness as soon as I started. It became better as the 90 mins passed. I didn't eat breakfast and had a protein ball and black coffee just before playing. After the session I was ok but yesterday and today I feel bloated and uneasy. I had a pineapple juice last night along with a light dinner.

-Breathlessness during exercise may result from inadequate pre-exercise nutrition, caffeine effects, dehydration, asthma or cardiovascular causes.
-Persistent bloating and uneasiness may be related to dietary factors, but should not automatically be attributed to pineapple juice or an empty stomach.
Next Steps
-Avoid strenuous sports until symptoms resolve and you are evaluated, especially if this is new-onset breathlessness at age 40.
-Consult a physician for examination, oxygen saturation, ECG and further tests as indicated.
Health Tips
-Eat a balanced meal or snack before exercise, hydrate adequately and avoid excessive caffeine.
-Resume exercise gradually only after symptoms have resolved and serious causes have been excluded.

Breathlessness right at the start that eased as you warmed up usually points to playing on an empty stomach with caffeine in your system, not something serious. Skipping breakfast and taking black coffee beforehand can lower your blood sugar and raise your heart rate during exercise.
Next Steps
Eat a proper meal an hour or two before playing instead of just a protein ball and coffee, and sip water through the session. For the bloating, stick to lighter, familiar food the evening after a hard workout rather than juice.
Health Tips
See a general physician if the breathlessness returns, lasts longer, or comes with dizziness or a racing heartbeat at rest.
