What Causes Shortness Of Breath Apart From Low Oxygen Levels?

OK im just about fed up I ve been going to the ER and doctors office since sunday may 15, 2016 for my breathing I ve been having shortness of breath at night during the day. It s like harder to exhale than inhale and everywhere I go they say that my lungs are clear and my oxygen level is like 98% but i m still having shortness of breath I have been taking breathing treatments day in and day out and that s like the only thing that seems to give me relief but it only last for about an hour and then im back where I started. I don t know what s going on but it is very scary everybody thinking im crazy because I keep saying im shortness of breath meanwhile my oxygen level is high. Everytime I go somewhere they don t give me no type of injection or medicine the only given me over the counter drugs. Now I have anxiety really bad especially now since everything i m doing not working. I take Montelkast/singulair Cetirizine/zertec and advair every night and I also do the Flonase but these problems are still here i m not wheezing until I eat something. Somebody please help me no one believing me and im in this all alone. Mind you that its now may 20, 2016

Hello,

It might not be due to respiratory issues but may be due to gi issues as you are unable to swallow anything. Or else you can get a respiratory function to find out where the problem is.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Harshita, Ophthalmologist
