Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

This can be caused by pulmonary edema (shortness of breath should be present, more possible if you have any heart issues), throat or lungs infection(cough and sore throat should be also present), sinuses infection (headache in the front should be present). If you have also nausea, bleeding from peptic ulcer esophageal varices should be considered.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
