A member asked:
Could a stuffy nose make you feel short of breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nose breathing, yes: If you breath through your mouth and you are still short of breath, you need to be seen by a physician. If it only occurs with breathing through your nose, then, no, it is confined to the nasal passages and can wait until you likely get over the issue. See your doctor if you don't get better.
