Can back pain cause a shortness of breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain: upper back or rib pains can cause shortness of breath but I do not usually see lower back pain causing this. Pain and spasms can "take your breath away" because of the sharp pains but that would be the only relationship.
