Shortness of breath : People describe shortness of breath (SOB) differently and it should be evaluated in person It's concerning when you walk a short distance or do short-term exercise and you feel SOB you need to see a doctor. Some people report SOB as be a pain in breathing, unable to take a full breath, wheezing, or stuffy nose, from anxiety, when they feel tired, or just reading symptoms on the internet
