What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Fever?

Hello Doctors, Exactly a week ago I developed sudden weakness, eye pain, headache in the evening. Next morning, I developed a fever of 101.7, chills, extreme body ache, extreme headache, extreme eye pain, dehydration (dark yellow-golden-orange urine) I did not have any cough, sneezing, nose problem. This temperature stayed the same for the next day, then came down to 100.8 on the 3rd day, then 100.4 on 4th day. By day 5 my pains/aches were all gone and the temperature registered between 98.5-99.1 degrees. I noticed that I was urinating a lot of times in the first 3-4 days. Now, my problem though is that today on the 6th day, I m still on bed rest because I experience shortness of breath if I stand for more than 5 minutes and by evening my temperature shoots up to around 100.6-101 degrees and then goes back to normal when i wake up in the morning. I ve also tend to experience some coughing and headache from early evening onwards. I haven t taken any medication. I took B-complex twice a day from past 5 days. I have hypothyroidism and take a 100mg thyronorm tablet in the morning.

Hi,

Since the temperature increase in the evening, urinary tract infection is suspected. Repeated infection and reduced intake of food lead to shortening of breath.

Go for urine culture as well as renal function test if any creatinine is high. Take more fluid. Avoid junk food. Liquid food is preferable.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Christy J Thundiparambil, Ayurveda Specialist
