Hello,

Recently I feel like I am even more out of breath than usual...even walking up the stairs has me gasping. I feel terrible...anyone else experiencing really bad breathlessness? What did you do?

Hello @tranad‍

Thanks for your comment and happy new year. A machine that allows you to exercise without getting out of breath? That sounds brilliant! Could you share the name with us?

I hope you're doing well,

Michael
