What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Dizziness?

I had trouble breathing a couple of weeks ago so went to urgent care and got antibiotics and prednisone so felt better. Now I am dizzy and have headache and pain in the lower middle back which I think is a lung. Same symptoms I had before and keep coughing up stuff. i m 69 years old and was a lifelong smoker till I came down with this and now have no interest in it. hooray.

Thank you for asking HCM
In such case you should get a chest x ray and sputum examination to rule out lung infection or tuberculosis.
Thanks
