Hi,
It may be possible exertion dyspnea due to cardiac problems like heart failure or respiratory failure. Other possibilities like anemia or hypertension or age related muscular atrophy etc.
Please do physical activity regularly, get examined for lungs and heart by X-ray chest and ECG.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
