My husband's had a bad cold for 3 days & for 12 hours he's felt short of breath, like he can't get enough oxygen. no chest pain. possible causes?

Seek care : Sounds like your husband doesn't just have a cold but may have lung involvement and needs a full exam including a chest X-ray. Suggest he seek care if he is so symptomatic. A ER visit is needed.
