These symptoms could be caused by several things that your doctor will hopefully narrow down at tomorrow's appt.  If your wbc/ANC numbers are too low, you are at risk of infection.  As you probably know Riba can cause coughing and shortness of breath, which it does for me.  Hope you get this figured out quickly.  Good luck
