5. Indigestion
Have you been experiencing indigestion as a symptom lately? This might be something that goes along with your shortness of breath – and you might not even know that it could happen. This is not one of the symptoms that people would imagine going together, but you should remember where your stomach, lungs, and diaphragm are all located: They are all in close proximity to each other and something that can affect one of these things will almost surely affect the other.
Shortness of breath going together with indigestion could very well be a sign that you need to change your diet, or it could instead mean that you need to make an appointment with your doctor and get the issues with your health checked out immediately. Shortness of breath when eating can also go together with food allergies if you are at all able to tie it to a food that you commonly consume: Start avoiding the food, take antihistamines and your shortness of breath could very well go away soon.
