Today I took some benadryl because Ive been coughing and sneezing a lot this week. ive never taken it before. a few hours later, i can barely get off the couch due to extreme muscle pain throughout: my left shoulder, left arm, left collarbone and left side of my neck. I’ve also had chronic shortness of breath pretty much everyday for the last two years. I’m still in a lot of pain..and Im ONLY 22..What is going on? and what should i do now?

If I were you, I would let a Doctor listen to my heart. You have classic symptoms of a heart event…it can ruin your whole day. Kids younger than you have died from heart attacks. Lord willing it is nothing more than the flu, or you slept on something wrong, but just in case…
The breathing is a concern also, it may indicate you have fluid in lungs, or at the very least, are having to work harder at pumping blood…therefore the heart is working harder. Check your pulse, and blood pressure if you can. Also, if nausea sets in, call 911. Hoping for the best for you.
