I agree with the other people who suspect its asthma.
You should def see a doctor, one who is a pulmonologist and an allergist because most cases of asthma are allergic in basis. Then the key is finding out what are your triggers and staying away from them!
I suggest from now until you see a doctor, that you keep a 'breathing log.' One of my doctors had me do this to help control my asthma when I was having problems. Bascially, anytime you get out of breath, feel like you can't take a deep breath, etc, write down what you're doing, where you are, whats around you/weather, what time of the day it is. A typical entry for me looked like this:
Running (mile number___)
Outside
cold, 38 degrees, windy
3:00pm
or my personal fav
Drinking
inside at a bar
smoke, food, dry heat
11:30pm
By keeping the log, we were able to figure out I'm allergic to smoke and I have cold weather asthma.
Hope everything works out for you!!
