Shortness of Breath
Shortness of breath is a common symptom of a lung infection. It’s important to know that shortness of breath can also be an early sign of other conditions, such as heart disease or low blood oxygen levels. If a person is experiencing this symptom, it’s essential to see a doctor immediately so they can assess the symptoms and determine their cause.
Symptoms like coughing, chest pain, and fever are not just signs of a lung infection; they may be indicators that the disease is spreading into other parts of the body. In some cases, this spread can lead to more severe complications like pneumonia or sepsis (a potentially life-threatening complication in which an overabundance of toxins is found throughout the bloodstream).
