Breathing problems

What are the causes of shortness of breath?

When a person has a cold, he may have difficulty breathing. Infections such as sinusitis can cause others. For a week or two, sinusitis makes it difficult to breathe through your nose until the swelling subsides and your clogged sinuses are emptied.

Many respiratory problems are persistent (chronic). Examples are chronic sinusitis, allergies, and asthma. They can occur with other symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, chest congestion, cough, snoring, difficulty breathing, and shallow breathing.

Viruses and allergens reach your lungs through your nose. As a result, many lung diseases are associated with your nose and sinuses. Asthma episodes are triggered by inflammation of the sinuses or nasal passages. Allergies are the most common cause of asthma.

Allergies affect more than 50 million people in the United States. Asthma affects 17 million people in the United States. These two things often happen at the same time. If left untreated they can make life unbearable.

Smoking affects the tubes or 'airways' that carry air to your lungs, which can cause breathing problems. It also damages the small air sacs or 'alveoli' in your lungs, which carry oxygen into your bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide (CO2). Second-hand smoke can also cause breathing problems
