Tingling, Tightness In Legs, Shortness Of Breath On Climbing. Exercising. Should I Take A Stress Test?
I am a fairly active 51 year old female. For years now whenever I walk up a steps my legs tingle and feel tight and I get short of breath for just a short time. I started spinning 2 times a week and a TRX suspension training class 2 times a week thinking I needed to build up my stamina and I still have shortness of breath when exercising. I am concerned about maybe having blockage in my arteries -- I do have high cholesterol . Should I get a stress test?
