Answer
Hi Cody and thanks for writing,

I really can't diagnose you over the Internet (and no one should try). You need to go see a doctor and have him listen to your lungs and do a chest x-ray as well to rule out any serious conditions and treat whatever is causing your difficulty breathing.

Breathing is too important to mess around with so please don't leave it too long as not treating it may lead to irreversible damage.

Wishing you all the best,
Margot
