Ive undergone many tests to determine the cause of my shortness of breath that occurs immediately upon slight exertion & chronic fatigue. Not to go into the long list of symptoms, it just occurred to me that my degenerative disc disease in my c-spine could cause my s.o.b. I have moderate ddd in C3-C4 & advanced ddd in C5-6 & C6-C7. My s.o.b occurs when I begin the slightest movement with my arms such as washing hair, reaching for high objects, etc. Cardiac & lung tests are normal.
Hi, From history as cardiac and lung tests are normal this problem might be due to pinched nerve pressure due to cervical spondylitis. There is a possibility of having frozen shoulder called peri-artheritis precipitating your problem. After consulting orthopedic surgeon go for active physiotherapy, short way diathermy and if you require for cervical traction. Avoid putting pillow under the neck while sleeping. Ok and take care.
