Having Trouble Taking Deep Breaths

I've been having trouble taking deep breaths for about six weeks. About 1 out of 5/6 attempts is succesful. when this began, it was much worse. I had a chest x ray and it was negative, and a facial CT that came back ok to. I have no Temp, and somewhat of a dry cough, to no cough at all. It is NOT anxiety. I have this when I sleep, or on vacation. So far i have take a 14 day supply of amoxacillin, the diskus of advair, and now on my last day of a 5 day, 5mg prednisone pill. My chest feels funny. Kinda tingly. The prednisone has helped loosen the muscles around the chest, but I'm still experiencing everything else.

Hey are you taking these medicines on your own or did your doc prescribe them to you...stop taking undue medications...practice relaxation and consult a doc for the symptoms..sometimes they can be a side-effect of the medicines too..
