I've been having this weird feeling where I get short of breath, but I'm not coughing or feeling any chest pain. It's strange because sometimes it feels like I just can't take a deep breath, but then it kind of eases up when I eat something. Should I be worried about this, or is it something I can just ignore? What could be causing it?
