Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
Since you had the overdose 7 months ago it seems unlikely that your breathing problems would be because of that. But if you are still on drugs, then you may suffer from breathing issues.
That would lead to more danger. I recommend you a chest HRCT to see whether there is any infection in the lungs. Blood clots also tend to form in drug users, and blood clots forming in the lungs can cause breathlessness and significant health issues. Another possibility is disease like tuberculosis and pneumonia. A HRCT of chest will give us information about all of the above possibilities. Please do a CT chest and revert back with the findings.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
