Needs eval: The symptom implies a defect in the respiratory or cardiovascular system. It requires a thorough review of history, exam & tests. In covid patients it is the subgroup that needs hospital based care. You need to arrange an in person evaluation.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
