See your doctor now!: There are many possible causes: simple cold or virus, pneumonia, acid reflux, asthma exacerbation, COPD, blood clot in lungs, heart attack, etc. Due to the various possibilities, you should see your primary care doctor quickly for examination and evaluation. If the difficulty breathing becomes rapidly worse, then go to the ER.
