I've been experiencing this sudden shortness of breath over the last few months, and it's starting to really worry me. It comes out of nowhere, and I can't seem to pinpoint why it's happening. What could be causing this, and should I see someone about it?

I went to the dentist a few days back, and since then, I'm feeling like I might have a cold or cough, or maybe something weird with my breathing. But there's no constant cough, sneeze, or fever. Could this be COVID? The dentist was wearing a PPE kit, but should I still be worried? How soon would any symptoms show up if it were COVID? I'm really stressed about this. Can you help?

don't panic get covid test done and consult further
