I am asthmatic and started taking flucoxacillin for a chest infection yesterday and then woke up finding it hard to breathe. Has anyone else experienced this?

Could it not be to do with your chest infection and/or your asthma as a result of your infection?

No it wasn’t this bad before. I’ve had the infection for months without realising and need antibiotics to get rid of it and since I’ve taken them it’s got worse

Then you need to contact your GP. Whether it's a reaction to the antibiotics or not, they need to decide what to do - if you can't take that then you need something else, and also if the side effects mean you can't take it then they need to know so it can be on your records
