This is interesting, I too have and still have shortness of breath as if i am having to take a deep breath to regain my normal breathing rate - I didnt think to attribute to neck problems. I have a very messed up neck since the accident but docs havent made much of a corelation other than radiculopthies

I drown when I was 13 months, and that was what caused my first concussion, causing memory loss and the ability to retain things difficult. When I was 12, I was hit by a car, I got the concussion and road burn, nothing else was reported to have been wrong, that was when my problem started however. I do have frequent headaches, but rarely migraines. With the breathing problems however, comes the shortness of breath, tight chest and throat. No difficulty swallowing, and no pain occurs when any of this happens, just the tightness. |

tmgrl4,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. You are experiencing the frustration of concussions and how they can cause all kinds of odd symptoms. My guess is your shortness of breath is anxiety. That is common. But, it could something else. I had a problem with shortness of breath but it turned out I was not breathing then would sense a shortness of breath. The anxiety after a concussion can cause muscle tension in the chest and diaphragm that interrupts normal relaxed breathing. Memory issues can be anxiety or concussion. Nobody can say without testing. Many of us find we have to 'stop to think' after a concussion. I would not be surprised if you learned to stop to think, you will do much better. Age related thought processes often require learning to stop to think. That means learning to shut out other stimuli and thoughts. We get used to acting at a subconscious level but after a concussion, those efforts may need more of a purposed thought and action. Falling can often be a result of trying to move about with instinctual movements rather than stop and think purposeful movements. I have not been able to move instinctually for over a decade. But, it does not stop me. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Just know, few neuros are good at these concussion issues. My best to you.
