I've been dealing with shortness of breath for the past year, and it's getting worse lately. It's gotten to the point where I'm out of breath just walking around my house. What could be causing this, and is it something I should be worried about?

There are no other signs of a cold or anything, but she keeps coughing, especially during meals, while cooking, and at night. It's a bit confusing, and her eyes get watery, and there's itchiness in her throat when she coughs. Why might this be happening?
