What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Fluttering Sensation In The Chest?
Hi, I have had shortness of breath, coughing and fluttering in my chest since last Wednesday. I went to a walk in clinic and received the blue puffer which helped for a while but doesn t seem to be helping today. I don t have any other symptoms, do not feel sick, do not have any pain and do not take any medications. Could it be something else that a puffer would not be the right treatment?

Hi,
If the treatment is not helping it is important to seek medical help. Asthma treatment is in steps, if one step does not help enough the treatment is stepped up so it might be that you may need to have a step up in the treatment of asthma.
