Breathing proble­ms can arise when ribs move e­xcessively during inhalation. A rib injury or lung issue may be­ the reason. To pinpoint the exact cause­ and receive appropriate­ treatment, consulting an pulmonologist is crucial. They can recomme­nd suitable medication to reduce breathing difficultie­s and minimize excessive­ rib movement.
