A member asked:

What breathing disorder is related to constant bloodshot eyes? maybe overbreathing is a side effect of something else? i can't figure out what's wrong

Asthma or sleep apne: Bloodshot eyes may have nothing to do with a breathing disorder. But if you have a breathing disorder and blood shot eyes it could be asthma, or sleep apnea.
