Is this shortness of breath? I don't know

Basically, as I inhale inwards, it feels like a lot of effort. It's extremely uncomfortable.

I've had it all day. I spoke to a pharmacist earlier and she said it's shortness of breath and see a GP if it persists. She said Call 111 if it gets worth.

Is it shortness of breath? I thought that was when you were taking lots of breaths in and out.

It all just feels so heavy. And it's so uncomfortable. I'm laying down with my little DS at the moment and feel like I'm suffocated if I lay a certain way. The effort to inhale feels even harder when I'm laying down.

I posted on Mumsnet about it yesterday but last night DS was really unwell and wheezyz. GP confirmed today it's croup and he's been proscribed an inhaler.

Could I have some sort of strain that he has and therefore the same thing? And perhaps he's been misdiagnosed if I've ironically got a funny chest the following day?

I will be seeing a GP tomorrow because this is just so uncomfortable. I feel like it's a proper struggle to breath Sad

Shortness of breath is difficulty breathing. Which you have.

Don't wait too long....I had pneumonia and that was my first signal. Do you have any help around? Live with anyone else?

Fortune Thanks so much. I do have my DH.

I feel absolutely fine otherwise! Not a single other system. I just literally find it such an effort to inhale

Sorry to hear you had pneumonia Sad

My ds was complaining about this yesterday. Could it be a virus?

My Mum had silent pneumonia I think they call it no coughing. Just tired and breathless I made her go to GP.
