9. Allergies
Environmental allergies could lead to trouble breathing by affecting the body’s airway. Allergic rhinitis, commonly called hay fever, can affect the sinuses and the nose. Experiencing congestion is one of its symptoms. When an individual is highly congested, it can lead to shortness of breath.
Allergies may also cause wheezing and coughing. In such cases, rapid breathing and shortness of breath are common symptoms. Seeking medication at the early signs could help in avoiding shortness of breath.
