I have a hard time taking deep breaths, what could be wrong?

Concerned: I would recommend an evaluation by a physician. There a several reasons that could be causing you to have this problem. If you are having a difficult time taking a deep breath because of pain, this is called pleuritic chest pain. If it is because you are unable to catch your breath, that is considered dyspnea. Either way, you need to be evaluated by a phsycian to rule out significant diseases.
