Could The Shortness Of Breath Be Related To Chronic Back Pain?
I am a 57 year old female. I have lumbar spinal stenosis. I have been living with chronic low back pain since 1978. In 2008 I had bladder repair surgery. One month later after the surgery I started getting shortness of breath. It started all of a sudden. Could this be from the chronic debilitating back pain.
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you are getting shortness of breath and chronic backache. These two problems are independent. Shortness of breath is unrelated to chronic backache. It may be due to many causes such as heart disease and anaemia and many more. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
