A member asked:
I have breathing problems, could be start of chest infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on duration: If problems have been over many mths or years then not an infection. An infection may be due to your underlying lung problem. If symptoms started within a few days then yes this could be an infection. Need to follow up with yoru md. Alsi if you smoke you need to stop.
