Lyrica and Breathing Problems
 

I took Lyrica for back/leg pain for 2 1/2 mos and it helped my pain significantly. I resumed Triathlon training when my back started feeling better, however, I would get chest pain after exercising 10-15 minutes and would have to stop. I am fit and trim with no history of heart disease and with a normal nuclear stress test and EKG and chest X-ray. I only have this chest pain when I exercise -it feels like bronchitis or like I have run in the cold. I literally cannot continue exercising until I have rested 1-2 minutes. I have never experienced anything like this in 30 + years of exercise, running, etc. until I tookl Lyrica. Has anyone had this and how long did it take to go away after quitting Lyrica.

You might think about emphysema . I had trouble breathing,went to the doctor for five months with no help . Changed doctors and test after test the result was emphysema. Probably not Your problem,but why no be sure.
