Back pain after gasping for breath may be caused by trauma, pleurisy, lung tumors and other reasons.
1. Trauma: It may be due to trauma that causes soft tissue injury, edema, and exudation of inflammatory substances in the back, or even tearing, which may affect the respiratory muscles in the back. The contraction and expansion of the chest during breathing exercises pulls on the injured soft tissues and involves a large number of peripheral nerves, resulting in back pain after gasping for breath.
2. Pleurisy: If there is inflammation in the pleura, it may cause pain when the pleura rubs together during breathing, and at the same time, there may be chest tightness, which may cause dyspnea in severe cases.
3. Lung tumor: the phenomenon of back pain of lung tumor is caused by the invasion of pleura by tumor lesion, and it may also be caused by bone metastasis or pleural effusion.
Patients with back pain after wheezing should go to regular hospitals for systematic examination, including chest CT, cardiac ultrasound and so on, in order to clarify the cause of the disease, and get proper treatment under the doctor’s advice.
