Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Prolia is a medication that has many side effects.
Some of the side effects of prolia can pass during the treatment and other may need medical care.
Breathing problems are not a common side effect of prolia.This side effect can be caused by an upper respiratory tract infection.
The side effects can last until 2 weeks.

Some advice that I can give to you are:
-do an x-ray
-do a complete blood count
-do an EKG to confirm the cause of your breathing problems and take proper medication.

If the side effects continue I suggest you to consider an alternative medication.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have any other questions I'll be glad to help you.
Kind regards!
