K2, I don't think you have a choice but to reduce it for a while. You are having bad symptoms and if you keep it up what's bound to happen is you just can't continue at all, feel like complete crap, and have to give it up completely for a while. Lot's of people never get back to it after that. But this enthusiastically going out with all guns blazing only to burn out and end up with no results is really common. It is never the correct approach to start out anything with 7 days a week. And certainly, if one does, you need to adjust the intenstiy, or the duration accordingly.
Breathlessness, dizzyness, leg pain....need I say more? Look up overtraining syndrome or "cardio overtraining". I'm not saying you have reached a point of true overtraining but you are certainly overreaching heading towards overtraining. Simply because your body is not able to recover between workouts. Fatigue and metabolic stress is building up.
You may actually want to take a rest...maybe for a week, until those symptoms subside and then get back into it with an appropriate workload.
You will have a much better chance of success if you start out with two days and add to it slowly rather than all at once. But you should always have some days off, imo.
Also, keep in mind that the improvement in your resistance training will make a lot of difference.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
