Greetings!
I understand you are having shortness of breath. For your information, there are other symptoms of COVID-19 infection like fever, cough and headache. It will also be a strong suspicion for COVID-19 if you had a recent travel history to high risk countries like China, Korea, Japan and more. Based on your symptom, you may answer the quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories.
Besides COVID-19 infection, symptoms of shortness of breath can be caused by other health problems such as:
- COPD
- Asthma
- Heart failure
- Kidney failure
- Pneumonia
- Tuberculosis
You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
