No: H Pylori infection affect the stomach, causing gastritis, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, if left untreated H.Pylori has been associated with a type of lymphoma of the stomach and stomach cancer. H. Pylori does not cause black phlegms, shortness of breath or chest pain. Contact your family doctor ASAP for that.
