Is Food Poisoning The Reason For Shortness Of Breath And Pain ?

I am having pain and shortness of breath when I lay down. I think I may have gotten food poisoning Monday when I ate some bread pudding whose sauce may have gone bad. However I have notices over the past few weeks I don t have the same lung capacity I normally have.
