Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As far as my clinical experience is concerned, the breathlessness at present is due to drug interaction giving bronchi spasm; you must stop antibiotic Levaquin at present and consult your doctor for replacement of the molecule.
Do give me further chance to assist in future.
Thank you.
