SOB: If it is in any position , but happens when you lay down, the symptoms could be caused by GERD. That would be one idea. I would recommend getting checked.

Hard to say : You should get it looked at. Many simple things like anxiety, sleep apnea can give you those symptoms. However, there are some very rare (at your age), serious things that could also give you those symptoms. Best to see your primary who can help you rule out the rare serious things and help you treat the more common, benign issue it most likely is.
