If you can’t speak full sentences without taking a breath it’s a medical emergency

I’d get a pulse ox for home and just make sure your blood oxygen levels are ok. If they’re in the normal range there’s not much an er can do, just refer you to a pulmonologist. Otherwise research air hunger and breathing exercises to help
