I had my regular appointment with GP 4 months post catheterization and he asked me if I experience shortness of breath while climbing stairs etc and I could not think what I should reply? Because when you do physically demanding work, you lose your breath and I do. I have lost the feeling how does it feel not having shortness of breath. How can I find out if I experience shortness of breath?

I started getting shortness of breath feeling around 20 years ago when I was few years into sedentary life. Once I climbed the stairs or did something similar together with other people and people around me asked me with surprise if everything is okay because they felt my breathing was unusual while I did notice that I struggle catching up my breath but I did not relate it to any issue and thought of it as a result of continuous sedentary life. I don't change my life and after 20 years I got heart attack. So personally I do not know anymore what is not shortness of breath because I still feel shortness of breath or whatever it is when including stairs or try to run etc. is there any standard or scientific way to measure this?
