It could be many things from heart conditions to respiratory problems, to neuro problems, or even GI problems or other internal organs. Basically the symtpom is vague and if the symtpom is enough to obviously bother you, I would definitely schedule an appointment with your primary doctor for a physical exam and to discuss this symtpom, because without a physical exam and a proper history and physical and test, this symtpom could mean a lot of things.
