Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
All medications have potential side effects however clindamycin is not usually associated with causing shortness of breath.
This symptom is more than likely related to your asthma.
You may want to consider restarting the clindamycin. If you are not comfortable with this then you should speak your doctor about an alternative.
I hope this helps
