If you are having issues w. breathing and have any other symtoms with it specifically sweating, pressure in the chest that comes and goes, jaw or Left arm pain, dizziness, nausea....you need to call 911 immediately.  No matter what when you are having difficulty breathing you need to be seen by a doctor and should head over to the E,R. if this is still happening.  You don't want to get to the point where you can't call out for help because what may happen may not be reversable.....make the call......

I agree with cindy, and even if it turns out to be a chest infection, there's nothing to feel ashamed about. You get one crack at life, so don't take chances like that.

You want to make sure you have this evaluated one way or the other.  Do not play around with these types of symptoms.  Take care, Ally
