General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You seem to have anxiety which is causing you to have it difficult to breathe. The time a cortisone shot stays in the body depends on the kind of cortisone you used but normally you should not have symptoms related to one shot after 3-4 days. You may also have anxiety problems unrelated to the cortisone use so if your symptoms last more than 2 weeks you will need to talk to your doctor.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Kind regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj,
