What Causes Tingling And Numbing Sensation In The Lung?

I am 63 years old, female. I have been sick with the flu and upper respiratory coughing for the past week. I was prescribed an antibiotic (levoquin sp?). I have been expierencing a tingly numb like feeling in my right lung at the back and sometimes at the left back as well (not as pronounced or as often. I am just trying to find out what the symtoms might be telling me. I am a stubborn senior who refuses to adhere to many other medicines that have been prescribed to me in the past, i.e. steroids (pills and inhalers), but I don t want to be stupid and ignore obvious symtoms that I have not expierienced until now. Please advise.

HI
Well come to HCM
Such symptoms may be due to some allergic condition, most of the time this comes around on its own, this is nothing to take anything with the lungs just wait for some time everything would be fine no need to treat the condition neither to be worried about this, hope this information helps, take care.
