All my life when get a cold or flu the first day and night i can't breath is a shortness of breath and also feeling like a shoking sensation at nights?

SOB: Anybody with an acute infection in which they develop difficulty breathing should be seen by a doctor asap. There is no way of telling the cause for shortness of breath without an exam and possibly imaging studies.
