What Is Babesiosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Short of Breath
If the parasite is spreading throughout the body enough then the patient will begin to show additional symptoms. One of these is that they can become short of breath. This happens because the blood cannot carry oxygen as efficiently as it usually would, making the patient feel as though they are not taking in enough of the essential gas.
Others signs that the condition is developing include heavy sweating, pain in the hips, and/or pain in the chest area. If the patient is showing these symptoms then they should find medical advice if they have not done so yet already.
