I was wondering if shortness of breath is associated with lyme? It is a feeling of needing more air. Very wierd and scary. Jocelyn

Called "air hunger" my son is being treated for Babesia just for that one symtom.

Yes, you are describing what is known as "air hunger." It is a very common symptom of babesiosis which is a very common co-infection with lyme disease.
Most people with lyme also have babesiosis. About 66% of lymies have it, I understand.
