Hi there.. breathing problem could be because of lung diseases or breathing muscle strain/paralysis.. diaphragm is the major respiratory muscle.. it's weakness/paralysis could be due to nerve compression/injury in the neck as nerve responsible for its action originated in neck.. Your symptoms could be even because of left lung problem(lung collapse or fibrosis) please consult physician soon and get chest X-ray done soon..
