Hi,

Sudden onset of breathing difficulty may won't be due to Lyme's disease. It may be due to pneumothorax or pulmonary embolism or myocardial infarction or pericarditis or cardiac tamponade or anemia or acute exacerbations of asthma.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done chest X-ray, ECG, ABG, d-dimer status then consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
