The symptom is vague and may be from several overlapping conditions. A full review of past & current history, exam and testing are what sorts out this issue. It is worrisome. Delay a visit at your own risk.

Shortness of breath can be due to a serious condition and you should see a doctor ASAP to determine why you are short of breath. There can be many reasons for shortness of breath including asthma, anxiety, deconditioning, heart issues, etc. This is a symptom that always warrants a doctor evaluation-testing may be needed to diagnose the issue. See your doctor ASAP! Good luck to you!
