What might be happening
Your symptoms could be related to several conditions:
-
Respiratory Issues: The sudden onset of wheezing and shortness of breath could be due to an acute respiratory issue, possibly related to your recent infection. Wheezing can occur with respiratory infections or conditions like asthma.
-
Neurological Concerns: The numbness in your leg and clumsiness might suggest a neurological issue, possibly related to your existing conditions like migraines or rheumatoid arthritis, which can sometimes affect nerves.
-
Medication Effects: While you haven't experienced side effects, it's important to consider that new medications can sometimes cause unexpected symptoms.
Typical treatments might include bronchodilators for wheezing or further evaluation for neurological symptoms. Testing could involve lung function tests or imaging studies.
