How Can Shortness Of Breath Caused After Taking Aleve Be Treated?
I started taking Aleve or Advil a few months ago for chronic back pain. It helps some but I still have the chronic pain and now I have shortness of breath, which I think was caused by taking these medications and yes I smoke about one pack every three days and am in my late 50s. Should I stop taking these meds altogether...I really can t afford back surgery.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Shortness of breath may be due to allergy to the drug or due to COPD with acute exacerbation. Avoid smoking, avoid tablet if you're allergic. Please consult your doctor immediately he will examine and treat you accordingly.
