- coughing
Frequently, a person with pneumonia will experience difficulty inhaling or shortness of breath. If the pneumonia is caused by a virus as opposed to bacteria, wheezing is prevalent. If you have developed a wheezing, it is likely that you have fully developed pneumonia, as opposed to abnormal pneumonia or walking pneumonia.
If you are experiencing difficulty inhaling or shortness of breath, it could be a sign of a common cold or another type of infection. Pneumonia can result in mild or severe breathing difficulties.
If you have had the symptoms of a cold, including coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, it is imperative that you visit your doctor as soon as possible. Your physician will listen to your lungs and may prescribe a chest x-ray to determine the underlying cause of your breathing problems.
