What Does Shortness Of Breath Indicate?

I have been having a lot of shortness of breath for a week now. I had a fever but has gone away in the past two days. I was put on a high dosage of prednisone and an antibiotic. My chest x-ray was good and I do not have pneumonia, but, the shortness of breath scares me. No one seems to know what is exactly wrong with me. All I know is I was working all day cutting bushes and since then I have been sick. Any help would be so appreciated. Thank you, Patti
