Can Head Injury Lead To Labored Breathing?
i was doing barbell squats. i fell back. and i hit the back of my head on the bar. i feel a dent in the lower back of my head, and my neck feels funny when i turn it too far. it's been almost a week since it happened. now i am feeling pressure on the chest and a little bit more labored breathing. i can't afford to go to the hospital, is it bad?

Regarding the question on the head injury, no there is no relation with your breathing problem.
On the other hand those symptoms shouldn't be neglected. I understand you might have financial problems, but I imagine emergency department is free in all countries and you should have an evaluation to exclude urgent heart or lungs problems.
