Hi,
How are you? What other symptoms are present? Cough with breathlessness may be attributed to a variety of issues such as infection, allergy related, reflux and other pulmonary conditions. Viral infections may resolve after a few days of symptomatic management and rest. However if it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Additional diagnostic tests such as imaging studies may also be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted.

Hello,
A complete medical history, clinical examination and work up are important for correct diagnosis and management of your condition. The common causes of cough with breathlessness for few seconds are viral infections, whooping cough, bronchitis, bronchial asthma or any other problem related to the lung. Are you also having any other symptoms like increased sweating, chest pain? In that case it may be an indication of some problem related to the heart. See a physician. A physical examination, investigations like complete blood count and X-ray chest may provide more information. Do keep me posted on your health.
Take care and regards!
