I have been having shortness of breath starting about an hour or two after rising in the morning now for almost 3 months now. I was in ER and they said it was anxiety. I had 2 bowel movements last week that were almost white ( they are back to normal color now) and for 5 days now had back pain on my right side behind my ribs. Also I ve been irritable lately, not sure if it s bc i constantly feel like I have to yawn to get a satiable breath. I have doc appt next wk but don t know if I should be seen at an urgent care or something. Any help is greatly appreciated
No urgent ER required. Hold yourself calm. Shortness of breath and pain on back below ribs is all lung area which is affected. Since fever is not mentioned, infection is not yet there. Bowel movements are normal now. The main action by your doctor would be to decongest air ways and pain management. Clinical auscultation would suggest if there are any crepitation sound in lungs or not for doctor to decide what type of expectorant or bucolic be given. So better clinical examination and correlation. Hope it helps.
