Is shortness of breath normal as you age?

Is shortness of breath just a normal part of getting older? That’s a really common question and the answer might surprise you. Yes, lung function naturally declines a little with age. But, feeling out of breath doing everyday activities? That’s not just aging. It’s a signal your body needs support. Breathlessness with light walking, talking, or even getting dressed may point to something else, like COPD, asthma, heart issues, or physical deconditioning. The good news? Pulmonary rehab can help you build strength, improve lung efficiency, and reduce breathlessness - at any age. I’ve seen people in their 60s, 70s, even 80s regain independence and confidence, just by starting where they are. So, no, aging should not = shortness of breath with your every day activities. If you are experiencing this talk to your healthcare provider. If you have a lung condition, ask them about pulmonary rehabilitation.
