Brief Answer:
do ct chest
Detailed Answer:
This sounds like pulmonary problem, possibly a pulmonary embolus/infarct. this is only a probable diagnosis based on the basis of your symptoms only. I would seriously suggest doing a chest ct scan. If either of the conditions turn up, it could be a medical emergency.
SO please get the ct scan (contrast enhanced) of the chest as soon as possible,
Please do let me know the report. i can suggest further plan accordingly.
