What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Discomfort In The Throat?
Hi. I started having these annoyingly scary symptoms, that im not too sure of what/why the reason. I started getting this sort of like thing in the back of my throat, that really sounds & feels like I ve either got something in my throat or as if to clear my throat, but nothing comes out. Usually happens more when I don t get any or enough sleep. Sometimes, if I take allergy meds it helps, but still sometimes not. Also, started to get where there are times when it feels like I can t breathe. Like I can t take a deep enough breathe. Really makes it to where especially when im driving I cannot stand to wear seatbelt or even just wearing Bra has gotten restricting. Sometimes I notice it easier to breathe when air is cooler. What could be wrong?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It looks you are in pretty discomfort. Shortness of breath can be due to a number of reasons like asthma, anxiety, bronchitis, pneumonia, COPD, high altitudes with lower oxygen in the atmosphere, allergic reactions, lung diseases. Visit ER, get evaluated (for GERD, Scleroderma, diverticulitis, growth/tumors). Do not smoke, stay away from addictions. If you are obese, do regular exercises, stay away from junk food & stress, eat fruits & berries, chew well. Take plenty of sleep. Your treatment will depend on your investigation reports.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
