What Causes Weakness And Breathlessness While Walking?

I get out of breath and weak during daily hot shower. Then I have trouble standing up to shave at the sink after the shoer. Seems like lifting my arms is a burden so I have to lean over the sink. I had by-pass surgery more than ten years ago.

Some days I also am very weak during my daily walk and have to find a place to sit down before returning home. This is particular to humid weather.
Could I be having blockage problems again?
