Difficulty in breathing

2017-04-07 20:49:25
Hello, I am having difficulty while breathing. It's not exactly breathlessness, but while doing any physical activity. Also, i am having a lot of dark phlegm during morning, no cough though. I have also lost 2-3kg weight is last 1 month. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection? Please suggest what to do.
