About 3 weeks ago, i started to experience symptoms id never had before. I had trouble breathing, almost to the point where i was gasping for air. My lungs hurt/felt sore, my chest was tight. I had some sinus blockage and the nasty green/yellow phlegm coming up. No cough and no fever. It got so bad i went to the ER ad they did the blood tests and ECG. Both looked good. I took a few chest x-ray's and the doctor said i had pneumonia. I'm guessing it was the viral kind because i didnt have a fever and really only had the sinus blockage and pressure plus the chest and breathing problems. The doc gave me a weeks worth of cipro. I started to feel better towards the end of the cycle of anti-biotic but not really 100%. About a week passed and the problems came back. I woke up in the middle of the night and ended up going back to the ER (different place). Yes i know racking up the bills lol. They didnt do any blood work and but put me on breathing treatments (nebulizer) and took x-rays. This time i was told no pneumonia, even though i felt the way i had the first time. Was told it was bronchitis and was given no anti-biotics and just an inhaler.
Anyway, i ended up going to my family doctor as a follow up and was put on zthromiacin/max (spelling) for a 5 day cycle because i still had a very tough time breathing and thought even with bronchitis anti-biotics was the best route.
Today, i feel as i did before. It comes and goes in spurts but there are times, more often than not, where my lungs feel very sore and heavy. I've had sinus headaches and it feels like my throat is tight. No fever, no cough and i cant get any mucus/phlegm up. I do get that weakness and the pins and needles feeling through my arms and legs here and there. I get very winded while doing things that normally wouldnt wind me.
My family has allergy problems and my mother has had asthma for her entire life bu t ive never had a problem. I'm in decent shape, 25 and generally very healthy. I do have heartburn but don't really think its connected. Is it possible i could be getting adult asthma? With no other real glaring symptoms is it possible that i could still have an infection in my lungs (pnuemonia/bronchitis).
