How Long Does Breathlessness Due To Naproxen Persist?

I appear to have had an allergic reaction to naproxen (given for back strain) while on holiday in the UK. I ve been back to my Doctor in Canada as my breathing is very poor. I am breathless with very light exertion. Im usually in pretty good shape. I stopped taking it 10 days ago and I m still breathless at the slightest effort. I have symbicort 200 to use twice a day. The constant indigestion has gone. I wonder how long this might last?
