The most common thing I think I see here with this complaint is a problem with Cardiac Anxiety. But then we never get any feedback to know for certain. Go to uptodate.com, read more, discuss with your health care person where you live. May be causes I do not know about in UNKNOWN. ;-)

You need to see a doctor ASAP. Difficulty breathing can be due to serious etiologies including but not limited to bronchospasm, heart issues, blood clots, gastroesophageal reflux, etc. The association with chest discomfort makes it potentially more serious. If this is new, you should go to the nearest ER for evaluation and treatment. Feel better soon!!
