I started feeling breathless today though i wasn't exercising. it feels like i don't have enough air despite taking deep breaths. what should i do?

ER: Acute onset of shortness of breath is no laughing matter. I would suggest you go to the ER for emergent evaluation. More than likely this is something minor however some of the causes of acute shortness of breath can be very serious.
