I recently dialed 9-1-1 due to shortness of breath. Eventually it subsided. My pulse, blood pressure and EKG were all completely normal. The emergency room doctor diagnosed it as anxiety, which I do get sometimes however at the time I wasn't actually anxious about anything. I was otherwise having a pretty good day. "Looking for problems" is something I myself do quite a lot. It's hard ever to be satisfied with anything. Though I work as a coder, my degree is in physics. I was puzzled at first at some of the research that physicists actually do, such as Caltech's numerical simulation of sand dunes based on the computational physics of sand particles. Eventually I realized that most physicists go around looking for any kind of problem at all that they think they can solve. Most such problems, while perhaps interesting intellectually, aren't of much use however sometimes useful stuff falls out of them. Consider that the laser was at first regarded as "a solution looking for a problem". As to how to answer your question: I don't know but I could use that answer myself.
