A member asked:
Can gallbladder problems cause shortness of breath? how and why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: Severe irritation of the right upper quadrant of the abdomen can cause irritation that passes through the diaphragm causing fluid collections in the lung. Other times the pain can actually take your breath away.
