When did you first notice feeling short of breath?

This has been happening for three days now and it's made me a little scared!

Location

Has there been any change in your shortness of breath over time?

but it got better after a few days so I did not get checked. This time, it's lasting longer. I also didn't want to stress out my parents because they have to work so much so I never told them.
