What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Painful Cough After Bike Riding?

I don't have a fever, and haven't had one for a few weeks. I have staph and have been taking antibiotics for about 10 days. When end a thirty minute bike ride I have difficulty breathing and will painfully cough. It feels like I can't get enough air in and I will wheeze. It takes about 30 minutes to recover. This however is an improvement to before where while I was on the bike I'd start to have trouble breathing. What's up? Could I have staph. pneumonia?

Hello

As you explain the history no you don't have pneumonia but you should do the Spirometry test.
