Shortness of breathe

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I have been facing shortness of breath all the time. It is not specific to my posture but more intense while walking. I lose breath while walking distances and also while carrying weights. Due to this my heart doesn't pump enough blood too. I have always been skinny, but I'm the past year due to poor quality of food in hostel I've grown even skinnier. I do not smoke. While taking big breaths, when forced upon, the lower side of the right chest pains as if some pin is poked inside.

It's the hemoglobin that helps carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell of your body that is frequently affected due to poor diet. If dietary changes are not possible in your case take the help of your doctor who is going to prescribe hematinics to improve your blood hemoglobin.
