Hi Dear
Went through your post as your main complaint is breathlessness on exertion, both the disease of lung as well as heart can cause exertional breathlessness in addition to that low hemoglobin can also cause it . I would suggest you consult a physician for assessment of your heart and lung status. In addition to proper physical examination.
