hi i am 19 years old, i run cross country and track. lately (past week or so) I have had bad headaches, dizziness, nausea, and felt extremely weak and tired. during some of our workouts (which i am normally fine with) I have had a hard time breathing.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are having recent travel history, possibility of either lung infection or bronchitis is more for your symptoms. Your symptoms like headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea and breathing difficulty are common in both of these conditions. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. So first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
