What Causes Back Pain, Breathing Difficulty And Weakness?
I am having shortness of breath and exstream weakness. Being treated for asthma. But pulmonary function test came back normal. Have a pain in my mid back that the chiropractor adjusts often. Today I was having the pain in my back and trouble breating. I used my inhaler and almost immediately the pain in my back was gone. Could the two be related?

Hello,
Of course, the difficulty breathing and back pain can be related to each other. You should do a spirometry and a X-ray to check lung function and structure. Asthma may be present and any other respiratory infection coexisting with it.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
