Probably nothing: You need to see your pcp to be sure. A chest x ray with some blood work would be a start. Do you smoke? Is their a family history os asthma. You are too young for heart related problems however, an ekg is warranted. Imaging is certainly necessary at this time. Other work up may be necessary.
