Hi

Have you just got this today? Has cough started today or do you normally cough. Is their pain. Is cough productive. Are you wheezing. If you haven't seen doc today it depends on how bad you feel but if you can't breath then you need to ring doc. This could be a number of things and you need. Physical examination

Ok,

You cannot stay like that. You need Gp now. I dont know what it is but you need checking out no matter what time it is.

There is a good chance this is pneumonia , collapsed lung or even heart related. So please ring for a GP

I think you need to see your doctor and let them decide xx

Yes go see the Doc for sure!!! BUT stress can sure do bad things...even helps cause lupus.

If you cannot breathe properly ring 999 for the paramedic that's what I have been told to do as my lungs are damaged due to MCTD. I use ambulatory oxygen but it can be very distressing when I get breathless also it isn't good for your heart. Please seek medical help ASAP, all the best x

Hi Luppiemum

How are you now. I hope you got some help. Whatever was causing your breathlessness to that degree needed medical opinion. Even an anxiety attack if you couldn't get it under control. The problem for us is we can't diagnose we can assume we know what your describing. Difficulty breathing can have so many causes. I do hope your feeling better. We are all concerned. Xxx

I am just wondering if you are on folic acid. The reason being I was put on folic acid and I started having problems breathing. It turned out that there is a dye in this product that can cause this problem. If your not on it then ignor my comment
