A member asked:

Hello, i find it a hard time to take a deep breathe and when i do take a deep breath i let a out a cough and sometime a little bit of mucus comes out ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Short of breath: Do you have asthma? How long have you been feeling short of breath? This could be a few different things, you could have allergies, sinus infection, asthma to name a few. Try some over the counter allergy medcation and if that doesnt alleviate your symptoms, see your doctor.
