How Long Will Breathlessness And Dizziness Last After An Episode Of Flu?

okay, I came down with flu symptoms and tooke antibiotics that did not help with my extreme fatigue-lasting several weeks, shortness of breath and dizziness. I am doing better now but still have some shortness of breath and the dizziness that prevents me froom maintaining focus. I am wondering if this will be permanent or will I continue to improve, if incrementally?
