You will need to see a physician ASAP, as difficulty breathing can be due to anxiety, asthma, pneumonia, heart disease, and a host of other conditions. You may or may not have a severe problem, and to be on safe side, get it addressed soon.

I agree with Dr. Machanic. Shortness of breath can also be a symptom of COVID-19 so getting tested for COVID should also be done. Shortness of breath can be due to serious, even life-threatening problems, so go to the nearest ER and get an evaluation and treatment. Good luck to you!
