Immediate Evaluation: In the event that this is an acute occurrence you need immediate evaluation for Deep Vein Thrombosis. If this has been progressive over that last couple of months, then you need full physical, labs, ekg and most likely a stress test. Call your doctor immediatly

See a doctor: You should see a doctor and have the issues properly evaluated. Make certain there are no cardiac or pulmonary causes for the shortness of breath.
