So lately my dad has been having trouble breathing. Doenst happen all the time. But they did all the tests on him, shot iodine in him and looked in his chest and stuff like that, and they still cant find anything wrong. They simply just say its asthma. He had asthma when he was younger...Tonight he developed this weird cramping in the back left side of his neck, and it shot upward into his head. We called 911 because he looked in bad pain, but after like a minute, it was gone. Completely just dissapeared. Were on edge because of everything he is experiencing. Could it have just been a cramp in the neck or what? He does overexagerate at times, so we dont really know exactly how severe some things are. Should we be worried about something?

Sounds like he might be having problems with small clots. They can cause the shortness of breath if they are lodged i the heart or lung vessels and TIA if lodged in the brain. The problem with diagnosis, (though a blessing for his health), is that the small clots can be disolved by the body, and often are gone before arrival at the Doctor's office or hospital.

yea you probably should worry because, ive seen many many many many many videos of doctors being very inexperienced now and plus the u.s experience in health car has dropped to 150 in rankings, i would try finding a professional
