I have osteoporosis and about 8 weeks ago had a t12 fracture in spine, I also have bulging discs,the pressure in my back when standing or walking. Can take my breath away is this normal I'm still waiting to see a specialist x
I am going to assume that you are asking if the pain of your vertebral problems...osteomalasia, compression fracture and "bulging discs" can be severe enough to "take your breath away?"
If my assumption is correct and not taking your description of breathing literally then i would say yes, it could.
