Is Sighing During Respiration A Cause For Concern?
I developed sighing respirations in Dec 2015. In August I was diagnosed with a macrocytic anemia and found to be B12 deficient. IM injections of B12 have helped tremendously with the strange tiredness and mental fog. One symptom that persists is the sighing respirations. It is stated in the literature that the neurologic problems that develop during B12 deficiency can become permanent. Can the sighing respiration also become permanent?
