Sometimes I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen to breathe or difficulty breathing. I feel the same sometimes when I talk or sing loudly although I am not a singer. I walk everyday about 3 km play badminton. I take levipil 250 twice daily as I was diagnosed with neurocysticercosis in 2015 and my cyst has been calcified. My height is 170 cms and weight is 90 kgs which makes me obese. What may be the reason for the breathlessness? Is it the levipil?

Chances of Levipil being the reason for breathlessness are very few. Your weight may be the reason for breathlessness. The actually neurocysticercosis affects your nervous system and can hamper movement such as respiration in some cases. If you are feeling breathlessness more often then consult a doctor.
