Hello,

I have studied your case.

Difficulty in breathing can be due to thoracic nerve involvement or lung parenchymal disease.
You may need investigate like HRCT,pft, MRI spine, EMG-NCV [nerve conduction study].
I will advise to consult orthopaedic surgeon for clinical examination and further investigation.


For these symptoms bronchodialator and neurotropic medication can be started.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
