Shortness of Breath
I've been suffering with shortness of breath for almost a week, i face this issue even when i am eating. I have had a mild temperature and been feeling very fatigued. I have had some cough and feel like my chest is tight when breathing.
The cough has been coming out with a slight blackish discharge as well.
Environmental factors and some infectious agents can cause blackish sputam.if you are a smoker , chances of blackish sputam is high.commonly , coal workers have blackish sputam,
copd and pnuemonia also cause black tinged sputum.
So you have to consult a physician and have to take xray to confirm.
