Shortness of Breath
The swelling in the lungs with hypersensitivity pneumonitis can cause shortness of breath. This can occur temporarily in the case of acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis. In chronic cases, shortness of breath can persist until the condition is managed properly. A person may find they struggle to breathe after exertion or normal daily activities.3‘Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17898-hypersensitivity-pneumonitis
Shortness of breath is a reason to schedule a doctor's visit. If a person can't breathe or begins to faint or turn blue, they should go to a hospital immediately.1‘Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.’ A Non-Profit Hospital in Los Angeles | Cedars-Sinai, 8 2020, www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/h/hypersensitivity-pneumonitis.html
