I'm feeling pretty uneasy these past three days because of some breathing issues. It's odd because I can run for 2 km without any trouble, but when I'm lying down, I'm experiencing shortness of breath. I'm also dealing with a bit of a dry cough. My blood pressure and oxygen levels are normal, though. What could be causing these symptoms?

View allI've been having some strange breathing issues lately, and it's kind of worrying. It all started last Friday, August 4th, after I ate something that made me sick, and I ended up throwing up. Ever since then, my breathing has felt weird. I feel a bit short of breath, and it seems hard to take a deep breath. I'm feeling really stressed about it. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

I've been dealing with some issues ever since I had pneumonia back in 2013. I'm still using a corticosteroid inhaler, and every time I try to stop, I end up with wheezing sounds in my lungs and a persistent cough. I'm really wondering if my lungs will ever get back to normal after having pneumonia that one time. Is using the corticosteroid inhaler something I'm going to have to do for the rest of my life? Are there any other remedies or advice you could suggest?
Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.
