Hi Taz

People with Friedreich’s ataxia can develop breathlessness secondary to cardiac complications but other types of ataxia per se do not cause breathing difficulties. Again Ataxia is not a primary cause of pain in the chest and back.

There are many causes for these. If they are acute onset please see a doctor as soon as possible.
