Yes: You should go to the er today and find out what is causing this. This is definitely not normal. If you smoke or are on birth control pills it is possible that you have a pulmonary embolism. Other causes include pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, and even non-pulmonary causes. Please play it safe and be evaluated quickly. Good luck and best wishes. Let me know how things turned out.
