See doctor...: Shortness of breath can be due to life-threatening conditions so it should always be evaluated by a doctor asap. You could have a blood clot in your lungs causing your symptoms. Other possible etiologies include bronchospasm from any cause, bronchitis either acute or chronic, heart disease like a heart attack or arrhythmia, etc. You need to be seen by a doctor to know for sure what the problem is.
