Shortness of breath

2020-05-26 13:48:04
I'm experiencing random shortness of breath (not always but sometimes during the day and not when I'm sleeping) I'd like to know what could be the possible reasons? I experienced this symptom way back in Dec 2019, it went away on its own and again occuring for the past few days.
