[jared1414]

it all started a few days ago.i have been having a short of breath where it feels like i cant get enough air,and some times when i try and get plenty of air my lungs start hurting,and time to time i'm also having some sharp pains in my heart,i am also having dizzy spells,i could be just standing around and all of a sudden i start getting dizzy where i cant see any thing for about 10 seconds.so i was just wondering whats wrong with me,also i have no insurance and no money to go see the doctor.oh and a another thing when i was a really young kid i had really bad astma

I too found it hard to breathe under tratment. I can't remember if it was my Gastro or a study that stated one of the side effects of the horrible Ribavirin is that it robs your blood of oxygen...

Ask your doctor

I agree with Trish. Go to an ER.

Those can be some pretty serious symptoms and none of us can make an accurate diagnosis. Those symptoms coupled with your history (previous posts) of 2 HCV tests coming back positive with no further follow-up or treatment, you need to seek medical attention and find out what’s going on.

I was always thought that if you went to an ER, they had to see you. Maybe that varies by state.

Jared, you also mentioned to me that you have dark green spit.  Dark green sputum is sometimes indicative of respiratory infection as I mentioned to you.  Regardless, you need to go into emerg at the hospital and I believe they will treat you.  Perhaps others can confirm that?  Good luck.
