Brief Answer:
If this shortness of breath just started, please visit the doctor!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Your body temperature is strictly normal and even tends towards the low end of normal body temperature? Please dress warm. Are you being treated for any other conditions like hypertension that may predispose you to heart diseases?

Running out of breath with minimal chores often raises the problem of a possible heart or lung diseases. With no cough and a strictly normal body temperature, this may seem unlikely at this time.

Given your age, so much can go on without the XXXXXXX disease symptoms. I will suggest that you consider getting a doctors consult for evaluation and appropriate diagnosis. I could feel comfortable asking a young person to monitor a little longer but not with an elderly, I will recommend immediate consultation.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
