Question Posted Wednesday December 30 2009, 4:02 am

I just woke up with a shortness of breath and I haven't been able to get back to sleep. I understand that happens to people from time to time, but it's like I can't even take a deep breath. I coughed a little, no mucous came out.s more like a dry cough. When I cough it feels like my throat is completely dry.. and my nose isn't running but i can't really take a breath too well out of it because its a tiny bit stuffy.

I took my temp, and that turned out fine.. but a few weeks ago I had some weird stuff going on with my throat. It felt dry no matter how much water I drank. I'd take a sip and it'd hurt to swallow the water. It wasn't soothing at all.

I feel like I can almost take a deep breath and when I try it gets stopped short or something.

Could this be pneumonia? Even though I'm not running a fever? If not.. what else can it be?

Hi there,

There are no doctors here to answer this, and that is who needs to answer this question.

Please consider having someone take you to the emergency room if your doctor will not accept late night calls. If there is nobody, please consider dialing 911 and talking with them.

Shortness of breath could be very serious. Please don't hesitate to get professional help. Better safe than sorry is a good rule to apply here.

Please leave feedback after you have seen a doctor so I know you are ok.

Thank you and I hope you are ok.
