Thanks you for asking this question. I have undergone through your question. I understand your concern. Your symptoms may be respiratory or heart origin. There are many causes of these symptoms including pneumonia, pleural effusion, bronchial asthma, pericarditis, congestive heart failure, and lung infection etc. You should go to a hospital emergency and get done investigations like CBC, Hb%, chest X - ray PA view, ECG, Lung Function test serum sodium and potassium. Diagnosing t of possible cause is usually a matter of exclusion. Any time you experience such symptoms, see your physician in order to get tested and properly diagnosed, so as to choose the best possible treatment. Do not take any medicine without doctor’s prescription.
I hope this information will help you I wish you a good health
