Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into the query I will like to tell you that in my opinion he should go for a check up .
There can be many reasons for breathlessness , both cardiac and lung problems can give rise to them . Getting breathless at such young age needs thorough evaluation . Only after auscultation of heart and chest we can get a clue that the systems are working normally or there is some issue so physical examintion is required . Probably a chest Xray , and a ECG with 2D ECHO will also be needed to rule out any pathology .
Only after deciding the disease treatment will be prescribed . You should see a doctor early .
Take care.
