Re: Looking for direction on what causes labored breathing.

This could be from a lot of reasons. Scar tissue, asthma, arsenic poisoning severe anemia, COPD....

You really need to have your lungs checked at the hospital and have some blood lab work done. Otherwise everyone is guessing based on too little information. For instance you have not even mentioned how long this has been going on, which is important. Is there a dry cough? Is there any wheezing? Anything make it worse, such as stress? Do antihistamines make it better? Have you been checked for anemia? If it is anemia then the alpha lipoic acid could aggravate the condition since ALA also chelates iron. If you are still menstruating then this could also contribute to anemia. So can nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, internal bleeding, lack of intrinsic factor, B12 deficiencies; which is more common in vegetarians, hemolytic anemia, and other medications that can destroy red blood cells or damage the bone marrow.
