I can't breathe? how can i get my breath back?

Question

yesterday i got sick and kept coughing and the coughing continued this morning and throughout today. The coughing is causing breating problems, i took medicine and took a nap. The coughing has gone away but I'm having trouble breathing. everytime i walk somewhere or do something i lose my breath and have trouble getting it back. I do not have asthma but i just need help breathing.

Answer 1

go to the doctor.

Answer 2

Same thing pretty much happened to me.  But the cough continued.  I used over the counter cough syrup and cough drops for 2 weeks.  Then I ended up going to the ER because I couldn't breathe and they did some breathing treatments and a chest x-ray.  I was diagnosed with bronchitis.  Now I've been sick for 3 weeks (coughing and feeling cruddy).  But I can breathe better since I had the breathing treatment and I use an inhaler every day now.  It sucks.  I go back to the doctor on Wednesday because my mom thinks I'm allergic to the inhaler or cough syrup or something they gave me.  I have a rash all over my stomach and chest.

Answer 3

Go see a doctor. Clearly that's not normal, and if I were you I wouldn't be taking chances with it.
