Tired after only short walks. Left knee can be painful. Short of breath climbing stairs. Age 70 but still working

Thanks for this question

I'm very sorry about this

Shortness of breath is concerning

It is a heart issue until proven otherwise

You need to see a doctor and have a stress test done.
