Hard time taking in deep breath?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Mitchel Schwindt answered

Painful Breathing: Difficulty taking a deep breath can be caused by a variety of factors. For example, pleurisy inflames the lining of the lungs making deep breaths painful and difficult. Asthma and infections can also produce this symptom. Excessive abdominal bloating or gas can also contribute.
