Struggling with Exercise and Shortness of Breath

I struggle with exercise because I have to sit and take deep breaths after walking for a minute or two. My heart rate will increase so quickly and I get winded so bad. What is a good way for me to exercise without having to deal with this so much?

Elavil/amitriptyline can give you increased heart rate.

I have the same problem! I find that the only exercise or activity that I can do is biking

Yes same here! I can only slightly jog on a treadmill for less than 4 minutes before I am completely out of breath and my heart is racing and have to stop. It's horrible and I struggle to keep my job because of it. Do you have any diagnosis for it? We're still trying to figure out what's causing mine.

Using a bicycle at the gym or swimming slowly for a long time is a good way!
