A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dyspnea or air: Hunger, shortness of breath is what you describe. You leave a lot out (smoking?, when you last breathed normally, cough, blood, heart issues, etc). You need a doctor, a physical exam, and at least a chest x-ray to start, then pulmonary function tests and peraps blood gasses. Depending on your air hunger, this might qualify for an er vist.
