I am only 65 and in good health. Height 5 9 and weight is down to 200. And blood pressure is now at 105-115 over 66- 70. No other medications taken. Cardio MD says he can t help lungs and insists on invasive CATH. Any other choices? This all started( beyon d some normal fatigue when I had a violent episode of vomiting one night. Yes, I react badly to sugary foods now as well or after a meal. Thyroid? Blood tests normal so far.. Appreciate your thoughts! Jerry

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If the breathing difficulty is the symptom you have then it may be due to allergic condition that might be narrowing the bronchial trees (Bronchospasm) as the cardiac evaluation tests are normal one, second it may be due to anemia so Hb testing is must to rule out the anemia, but the allergic condition is very likely. If I would be doctor of this case then I would try Levocetirizine with Montelukast twice in day some time steroid can be tried but for that you need to qualified you can discuss this with your physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
