Brief Answer:
Breathing reserve

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The breathing reserve come with exercise endurance in a normal healthy person. Along with it practice taking deep breaths. Eat fruit & vegetables Don’t smoke, stay physically fit. The better the respiratory muscles perform at exercise the maximum amount of air can be blown out and thus higher reserve.
However in people with COPD and smokers the cause of the problem has to be rectified esp quit smoking.

Hope this answers.

Brief Answer:
Low exercise capacity.

Detailed Answer:
You have low exercise capacity or low endurance. You can achieve higher capacity with cardio work out esp running, swimming.
You have to practice exercising over long term then the lung capacity can increase and have better reserve.
What do you mean by VEGF, can you expand it

I also have a low VEGF and I feel exhausted and tired all time.

I used to a track athlete and all of sudden I crashed one day . I love to exercise but I can t go after a certain point , I feel so tired . LOW vegf means that my organs are not getting enough oxygen

Brief Answer:
Exercise capacity.

Detailed Answer:
The capacity for exercise needs patience and determination to achieve certain set goals. It may take one year for few and couple of years for few. But one should not stop exercises or reaching the XXXXXXX capacity even if the capacity had marginal increase It is also good to exercise under controlled environment by measuring Heart rate, distance covered, speed etc.

As you exercise the resistance would reduce in the blood vessels to the organs and also under the skin. This reduces inherent blood pressure and each pump of blood from heart reaches the organs easily.

TRY AND TRY TILL YOU REACH GOAL and STOP NOT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT NEAR THE GOAL

Brief Answer:
That needs extensive investigation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Are you breathless with simple exercise along with tiredness? Was 2D ECHO done?
How much is your body fat percentage or BMI? Heavy weight can cause a lot of problems like this?
You need extensive investigation. I am sure spirometry would have revealed some info.
Obesity, Chest wall issues, Restrictive lung disease, lupus, arterial wall issues are come to my mind. The reason can be common for both the questions posted but needs a whole lot of detailed history and further investigations.
