Could This Be Due To Doxy?

Ok well I was taken to accident&emergency on the 22nd of April because of coughing up blood not involuntary coughing though, my oxygen levels were low and I was placed on a sodium drip. So far I still have no idea what was wrong.

I had CT scans, blood tests, sputum tests and an x-ray scan of my chest. Still I am unsure as to what was wrong. They then proceeded to place me on doxycycline which I took as recommended, now it has been five days since I took my last doxy.

I find that when I try to sleep I am waking up with no breath and having to struggle to breathe? If I sit up then I am not so bad albeit every so often I find it hard to breath but then I'm fine again this only seems to happen whilst trying to sleep or laying down.

I can only assume I had pneumonia of some form and perhaps viral pneumonia? Well right now I'm dizzy with what I can only assume as fever (because I'm sweating) a bit of a dry cough and need to clear my throat but without any blood in my sputum now.

I realise that some side effects are still there from doxycycline but is breathing problems when trying to sleep one of them and if so should I see my GP about it?

You should definitely see your doctor about it, because there could be several causes of such symptoms, one of which is congestive heart failure, which is a serious condition that requires treatment.

Have you consulted your doctor, yet?
