A member asked:

For the last 24 hours i've had shortness of breath. had ear infection and on my 6th day of doxycycline antibiotics. can't catch breath, is it related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: It would not be related to the ear infection. It might be related to the antibiotic treatment but this would be quite unusual. I would look at this as a separate issue and have it evaluated on that basis.
