What Causes Upper Back Pain Along With Shortness Of Breath?
i am 65 and a runner. Tuesday I ran 6.5 miles with no trouble. The next day I had some upper back pain and had to stop to catch my breath walking 100 yards from the parking lot to work. Gradually improved. Tried slow jog today and had to stop after about a minute because of shortness of breath. Slight chest tickle with cough.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your breathlessness on running is sudden onset, we should rule out heart diseases first.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first diagnose yourself.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
