Why am I out of breath when going upstairs?

We go up and down stairs every day. Many people feel that going downstairs is much easier than going upstairs. When going upstairs, everyone will feel out of breath. If the floor is high, many people will have to take a break in the middle of going upstairs to even out their breathing before going upstairs. We all go through this every day, so do you know why you feel out of breath when going upstairs?

Reason 1

If your muscles are loose, you will easily become out of breath when climbing the same number of floors as others; if you speak in a low and weak voice and always feel that you are out of breath; if you sweat easily and get tired easily if the physical labor is intense; if your tongue is pale red, fat and has teeth marks on the edges; if you are introverted, emotionally unstable, timid and do not like adventure; if your defense ability is reduced, you are prone to catching colds, find it difficult to recover after becoming ill, and are prone to sagging of internal organs; if you are intolerant to cold, wind and heat, then you have a qi deficiency constitution.

Reason 2

Qi deficiency constitution and Yang deficiency constitution are quite similar. In terms of nature, both are yin constitutions and weak constitutions. The main symptoms of Yang deficiency constitution are insufficient heat, deficiency of Yang Qi, lack of warmth, and fear of cold. Qi deficiency constitution also has these tendencies of Yang deficiency constitution, but it is most mainly reflected in the low function of internal organs. People with qi deficiency have weaker lung and spleen functions compared to the five internal organs.

Symptoms of Qi deficiency

1. Speak in a low and timid voice, with a light breath. Not to mention chest resonance and abdominal breathing. So we say that a low and timid voice and a light and shallow breath are related to the lungs.

2. In addition, because the lung qi is weak, the lung controls the skin and fur, so it is relatively easy to cause poor adaptability to the internal and external environment. So it can manifest as being particularly afraid of cold in the dynamics and particularly afraid of heat in summer. It is easy to catch cold when moving, and it is easy to get heatstroke and heat injury in summer.

3. If the spleen is weak and the spleen and stomach qi are insufficient, he will eat very little, have a poor appetite, feel bloated after eating, have difficulty defecating, and may only defecate once every two or three days, with only a little stool coming out and it may not be dry. Because her spleen and stomach function is weak, her Qi and blood are insufficient. When her Qi and blood are insufficient, her complexion will become yellow and lack blood color, which is usually called "sallow complexion", and her lips will be pale.

4. We know that the spleen controls muscles and limbs. If the spleen is weak, his muscles will be loose and weak. The limbs are weak and the whole body is loose, so the person has less tension, the breasts sag, and once he gains weight, the abdominal muscles become particularly loose. Especially for women with qi deficiency, their belly becomes very loose after giving birth, as loose as a bubble of water. There is absolutely no elasticity or tension at all. The buttocks also sag and the whole body looks loose and not upright. This is because Qi deficiency has no effect of boosting Qi.

5. Because of Qi deficiency, Qingyang cannot rise and cannot be elevated, so there will be dizziness, low blood pressure, and low basal blood pressure. For example, some people's blood pressure is usually over 40, 50, or 60, and the systolic pressure does not exceed 100. Mentally, because her qi and blood are not strong, she feels tired, lazy, and lethargic.
