Need clarifications...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

In the current context, every episode of shortness of breath should be monitored closely especially if you have travelled abroad recently or have been in contact with those who travelled. However if you don't have a cough and or fever, the current symptom may not be due to an infection.

Sudden onset of chest heaviness and shortness of breath may be due to other reasons. Are you able to climb a flight of stairs? Are you able to perform your daily activities without difficulties? If your answers to these question are "Yes", then I would not be overly worried. I would start you on cap Pan D twice daily half an hour before food for 3-5 days and see if you get better.

But if you have any symptoms of fever and cough; are unable to perform daily work and or climb flight of stairs, I will recommend you visit a nearby doctor for clinical evaluation.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
