What Causes Dizziness And Breathing Difficulty While On Cefdiner?

I went to my physician and was diagnosed with bronchitis last Monday. Had bronchitis about two weeks ago and it did not go away. This time I was given Cefdiner 300 mg twice a day. I keep feeling worse. Lightheaded and some dizziness. Weak. Hard to breath some times of the day but have inhaler. Is this medicine giving me an allergic reaction. I have only been taking it for 3 days.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

These are not typical symptoms of an allergic reaction but are possible side effects of the cefdiner.

Though symptoms of allergic reactions can vary but in most cases include a rash and itching.

Dizziness and lack of energy are possible side effects of the cefdiner. Difficulty breathing is not a known side effect and it may be related to your infection itself.
Bronchitis which is inflammation/infection of some of the airways in the lungs can cause shortness of breath

It would be best to speak to your doctor regarding your symptoms
I hope this helps
