BLF Breath Test

I’m not troubled by being out of breath except on strenuous exercise I’m short of breath when hurrying on the level or walking up a slight hill I walk slower than most people on the level, stop after a mile or so, or stop after 15 minutes of walking at my own pace I stop for breath after walking about 100 yards or after a few minutes on level ground I’m too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when dressing and undressing
