Dot,the first time I got on an eliptical machine I died after 5 minutes and it took all I had to last that long.
After a while,I was one with the machine pumping out HIIT cardio for 30-45 minutes like it was my job.
Just takes time to get conditioned for it.....much different at first than a treadmill or bike.

I'm quite unfit for cardio too and couple that with asthma I have to build up my intensity gradually. I start out at about a 4.5 incline on the treadmill then go up to about a 10 after 6 weeks or so. My speed doesn't usually go over 5.5 because I start burning muscle at that point.
I would get your doctor to check your 'peak flow' -I still have a peak flow meter and I make sure I check it every winter because thats usually when it gets worse.
