Hello,
The short breath with nasal blockage seems in tonsillar tissue which may protrude into the pharyngeal space obstructing the airway to gasp for the air. However, a polysomnography, blood gas analysis would be of paramount importance to get the final diagnosis and cure accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
