10 Aspiration Pneumonia Symptoms
Shortness of Breath
A person with aspiration pneumonia may feel out of breath, even while resting. They may wheeze between coughing and struggle to take deep breaths.1‘Aspiration Pneumonia.’ MedlinePlus, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000121.htm When they do breathe, it could be faster or more shallow than usual.
Difficulty breathing is a symptom to watch carefully. While mild cases of aspiration pneumonia commonly come with breathlessness, people should call an ambulance if they or a loved one are struggling to breathe.3‘Pneumonia.’ Nhs.uk, 23 Oct. 2017, www.nhs.uk/conditions/pneumonia
