Signs Of Tardive Dyskinesia

Trouble Breathing

Orofacial dyskinesia symptoms can lead to trouble breathing. Depending on the level of impairment and obstruction, this can be potentially dangerous. If an individual's breathing is completely obstructed or feels like it may become completely obstructed, they should seek emergency medical attention. The position of the tongue might lead to issues with breathing. If the tongue is out and obstructing air flow into the mouth, or the tongue has fallen toward the back of the throat and obstructed the airway there, patients may struggle to breathe. Individuals might also struggle to breathe if their lips are puckered or closed, particularly if they can't breathe through their noses because of nasal congestion or a deviated septum.
