Could Paracetamol Cause Shortness Of Breath?

Hi, I have been a user of paracetomol for years without any problems. But over the months I have noticed that after taking paracetomol I get shortness of breath a day later and even though the Dr gave me a reliever to help with the shortness of breath a few years back, even this doesn't help. I dont think I'm asthmatic even though my dr said if the reliever helps then I must be, but I'm not a chronic asthmatic person. He has listened to my lungs and heart and I've had the usual heart monitor tests done and the results have been fine. So what is causing the shortness of breath? After I took some paracetomol one day I was short of breath for a week but I still got on with everyday life as normal without any problems. Thank you Ms G Callaghan
