Shortness of Breathing
Hi I am 20 this year and I am feeling shortness of breathing with no coughs no fever other symptoms. However I did travel back from Taiwan on 12/3. Am I being affected and what should I do. Before I used an nasal spray, my nasal and throat have some transparent and sticky fluid sometimes with air bubbles. But after I used the nasal spray the fluid are cleared, but I started feeling shortness of breathing. At the time I fall sleep, I am awake due to the fact that I feel weakness from my arms and legs. I am afraid of falling a sleep now. Please tell me what should I do now
