General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
It seems that due to over weight one can have this symptoms but in your case as this happened shortly, any cardiac ailment should be ruled out.
There might be having coronary insufficiency i.e. angina pain as there is typical h/o breathlessness during some walking and you have to take rest.
Go for EKG to rule out coronary insufficiency.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
