Anyone had shortness of breath after getting a steroid shot?

I had a steroid injection in my hip 36 hours ago . I am wheezing and short of breath . I am told it cannot be an allergic reaction as it has occurred too long after the injection .I cannot believe it is a coincidence. I have not had breathing problems before. Anyone else had a delayed reaction like this ?

You definitely could have had a delayed allergic reaction- it happens.
An immediate allergic reaction can be very dangerous and is not that common.
It could be a reaction to the particular steroid injected or it could be a reaction to other components in the injection.
Maybe you can talk to an allergist about this?
