HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in this case underlying cause of breathlessness need to be ruled out, cardiac asthma need to be ruled out first, and second it could be allergic asthma or asthma due to lung condition (Bronchitis COPD) in my opinion better to differentiate the underlying condition then it would be easy to managed this, hope this information helps, (Bronchodilator can be used and best would be Etiophylline can be tired what ever the etiology )
I find this answer helpful
