What Causes Breathing Difficulty?
I have a 50 year old son who has had difficulty on breathing in ever since playing basketball many years ago which ended with a brief period of what felt like paralysis ... it was hot, he played for hours and probably wasn t drinking water much. I wonder if it may be related to vagus nerve impingement?

Hi,
Many breathing problems are chronic or long-term. These common breathing problems include chronic sinusitis, allergies, and asthma. These problems can cause a host of symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, chest congestion, cough, wheezing, labored breathing, and shallow breathing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
