10 Symptoms of Pneumonia
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Shortness of breath
This is one of the most common symptoms seen in a patient with pneumonia. The muscles involved in respiration are voluntary muscles, for this reason they can become tired when overworked. When this happens you start using other muscles to help them out (accessory muscles), but you shouldn’t wait this long to seek medical attention.
If you find it difficult to breath while being at rest, you should get medical attention to properly diagnose the cause.
