A member asked:
It became extremely difficult to breathe for about 5 minutes and i kept coughing throughout the day, what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short of breath: There are multiple possibilities . If you still have symptoms you should see a dr. If you have returned to baseline it still might be a good idea as some of the possibilities are serious.
