Good day, i had pneumonia several months ago and since then i have been suffering from shortness of breath & constantly coughing, i find it difficult to do something as simple as walking up stairs without starting to cough and sometimes aggressively?

Pulmonary problems: You many have pulmonary scarring from the pneumonia. The shortness of breath is concerning. Do you have a pulse oximeter so that you know what your oxygenation is like? Recommend consulting with your physician for further assessment of lung status and to work on improving symptoms. Take care.
