A member asked:
Im having major issues with breathing at random times. what could be happening..?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several conditions: If you suddenly become short of breath, it may be due to a number of conditions, including asthma, a blood clot, small areas of collapse in the lung. I would suggest noting down any possible triggers such as exercise, cold air or pollen. I would suggest pulmonary function tests and a follow up with your physician.
