A member asked:

I received a diagnosis of stenosis of the c4. i have episodes of "trying to catch my breath". is this related? how about throat spasm and cough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely...: The phrenic nerve (which gives motor output to the diaphragm muscle--which controls breathing) gets significant contributions from C4. Talk to a neurosurgeon about strategies to relieve stenosis at C4.
