Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It might be because lungs are not working to their optimal levels. Kindly contact a general practitioner (GP) asap and also have chest physiotherapy done every alternate day for 2 weeks. And use oxygen therapy if your O2 saturation is below 90%. Please don't ignore and contact again with your x ray reports.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
