hi, my husband recently underwent a a a opperation he has asthma  but before he could control it   but it seems now he is getting short of breath from the slightest movement, i,m wondering if  when he was in the induced coma that his lungs were affected in some way
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is possible that one of the medications would have caused irritation of the airway, but this should not be long term reaction and would have last normally only a few days. It would be best for him to be assessed by his doctor to determine if the shortness of breath is related to his heart, lungs or possible anemia (low red cell mass). He would need physical examination and investigations. Investigations may include full blood count, chest x-ray, CGI hope this helps
