Hello
Thanks for your query.
You must go for some baseline investigations like chest x-ray, ECG in 12 leads, spirometry with bronchodialator reversibility to evaluate your shortness of breath. It may also be due to depression. Better you should consult your GP to exclude underlying cardiological and pulmonary causes of sortness of breath.
Thank you.
Regards,
