What Causes Slight Shortness Of Breath And Severe Migraine?

yes my 17 year old son had slight shortness of breath last night, then again today at school he got sent home. Following his right arm hurt a bit, then tonight he gets a severe migrane where he can t handle light or noise? He has herditary spherocytosis, his spleen has been removed 9 years ago, along with 95% of his stomach due to a surgery mistake. He also has a diaphragmatic hernia on his left side due to a nerve being cut in his diaphragm during his laperscopic spleenectomy. He just wanted to go to sleep but it worrys me. He is otherwise healthy and has not been sick or hospitalized in over 2 years

Please get him tested to know the extent of diaphragmatic hernia because if it has become big, it can lead to breathlessness.
