Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having viral bronchitis.
Bronchitis is causing shortness of breath and viral infection is causing weakness, dizziness, shaky feeling etc.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Take paracetamol tablet.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
