Difficulty breathing can have many different causes, so it is not safe to start a new medication without a proper medical evaluation. If you have a known condition like asthma and have a prescribed rescue inhaler, such as albuterol, please use it now. Otherwise, try to sit upright, loosen any tight clothing, and take slow, deep breaths to help stay calm. Because breathing issues require prompt attention, please seek immediate medical care or go to an emergency room so a healthcare professional can safely evaluate you and provide the correct treatment.
