A member asked:
Can a cold make you feel a bit breathless from time to time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, variable: significance. It happens generally from irritation in the respiratory track making air flow worse. This can be minor but can be up to a life threatening asthma attack. Listening by a professional is pretty good test.
