Hi,
You were having an influenza infection for two weeks. So bronchitis can be possible in your case which is lower respiratory tract infection. In such a case, the chest X-ray needs to be done. Dyspnea could be due to that.
I suggest you consult a pulmonologist for chest examination and management accordingly.
You can revert back with reports to guide you further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
