Impingement?: A cough and shortness of breath when one flexes their neck suggests that there is irritation of the larynx and possibly impingement of it. You need to see your PCP for evaluation with imaging of the upper respiratory tree and the neck. There could be a mass or swelling in the neck that could cause this.

Just a: thought but could this be early congestive heart failure? Your mother's age and possible other medical conditions are important here! Suggest Health Tap Prime consultation! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
