5. Shortness of breath
In the same vein, you might also experience shortness of breath. This generally occurs after wheezing has already developed. As we mentioned earlier, the wheezing is due to the partial obstruction of airflow within your respiratory system. As this obstruction progresses, less air will be able to make its way to your lungs.
This will lead to shortness of breath when performing activities that aren’t very strenuous. If you’re generally fit when it comes to aerobic performance but find yourself struggling to get enough air in then you might be suffering from aspergillosis.
You should be even more concerned if one of the risk factors — such as the pulmonary conditions we went over earlier — are present as this increases the odds that the issue is, in fact, a direct result of exposure to the aspergillus mold.
