Could Shortness Of Breath Be Due To Allergic Reaction To Bactrim?
i had an allergic reaction to bactrim and was treated for steven johnsons syndrome ... it had taken about 2 1/2 weeks for the symptoms to appear but now i'm worried that i might be having the minor symptoms before the full allergy ... is that possible to have minor symptoms like shortness of breath and tiredsome if i'm digesting small amounts of sulfites ?

Hello
i appreciate your concern
shortness of breath and tiredness may be related an allergic reaction or heart and lung disease
in my opinion you should visit a cardiologist first to rule out heart disease first of you are having risk factor for this like
your age
if you smoke or drink
if you family history of heart disease
if you are young are not at risk of heart or lung disease please visit your GP for examination and lab investigation
Hope this answers your question
Best wishes
