NEED VISIT: Your difficulty breathing is certainly of concern in your age group. There are a # of possibilities, but you should have visit to get to the DX IF you are taking BCP's, then there is a concern of possible blood clots You should have blood work done to check your HG, and someone needs to listen to your lungs. Please make visit to urgent care today.

Depends on cause: Treatment of breathing difficulty depends on the cause. Potential causes include asthma, infection, heart disease, collapsed lung, blood clot in the lung. In your age group the first two would be more likely. You need to see a doctor for examination.

Difficulty breathing: Difficulty breathing has many different possible causes and some of them can be quite serious. Are you feeling anxious or stressed before you started noticing the breathing problem. Do you have any risk factors for a blood clot such as long periods of inactivity (plane rides, car trips, etc)? Do you have asthma? If not getting better soon please seek emergency help. I wish you the best of luck!
