This article just popped up in a search of today's news. It's undated, but I haven't seen it before.
I might show it to a doctor who recently prescribed 30-45 minutes of brisk exercise a day for me. I might also show it to my primary care doc, who recently denied a request for a CPET test.

Having a Hard Time Tolerating Exercise?
by Holtorf Medical Group
Many people with illnesses such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Fibromyalgia (FM), and POTS report similar experiences and frustrations with exercise. They are told that exercise and staying active will help their condition and yet attempts at aerobic exercise often lead to breathlessness, dizziness, and post-exertional fatigue. Many times, their doctors blame these symptoms on deconditioning, or simply being “out of shape.” However, these patients - especially those who were active or athletic before becoming chronically ill - can attest to the fact that their symptoms go beyond the adjustment period normally experienced when starting an exercise program. Research validates that you’re not simply “out of shape”.
New research findings have discovered distinct physiological reasons for this phenomenon known as “exercise intolerance,” validating the experiences of these chronically ill patients.
