HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are experiencing shortness of breath on activity then you may need to rule out conditions related to the heart, lungs, anemia (low blood count). If these are normal then a psychological cause such as anxiety, would need to be considered.
A chest x ray, blood test (complete blood count) and ECG would be needed.

If you are very congested, this may also affect breathing, this can be treated antihistamine/decongestants combinations which are over the counter such as benadryl d, claritine d, allegra d, zyrtec d.

I hope this helps
