Be seen: Multiple potential causes from reactive stim rest disease, pneumonia, reaction to something environmental, even things like a pulmonary embolus. Undiagnosed conditions associated with the symptom of shortness of breath should be urgently evaluated to make sure there is nothing serious going on, consider being seen and evaluated.
