Does Lung Collapse Cause Shortness Of Breath?

can my shortness of breath be caused by a collapsed lung? Two days ago a chiropractor saw me for the first time and did an adjustment on my tight mid back - it and my neck popped maybe 12 times- he said it was way ready. Ever sense, or it seams like its been 5 days ago, I m more confused, exhausted and every breath seems shallow and I struggle to get in more air with out being able to satisfy it! Anxiety and a pain in my mid back left side persists. Steve I m 63 and did a 4 mile bike ride today in the summer like weather.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi there,
thank you for your query on healthcare magic.
Itching around the perianal area could be a sign of parasitic infection but since you have associated peeling of skin, fungal infection is more likely.
Also, since you are on your periods, the affected area is likely to be damp and not getting enough air due to pads.This adds to the development of perianal yeast infection.
You need to keep the area clean and dry.
You can try a topical antifungal cream like Miconazole or Clotrimazole. You could talk to your healthcare provider if a prescription is needed.
Hope this helps with your situation.
Thank you for visiting healthcare magic.
