What Is The Treatment For Shortness Of Breath?

Lately, I am becoming allergic to almost everything. I would have rashes to every medications being prescribed to me by doctors. I am reacting to soaps, toothpaste, eye drops, clothes, gloves, a lot of foods. I am having shortness of breath, even if I am just watching TV, sitting , surfingthe internet, almost very thirty minutes, then will break after 10 mins, then short of breath again. Am I having an inflamed immune system ? Is there a cure for this? What should I do to get back to my previous health? This started 6 mos ago.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since you are having strong allergic history, possibility of bronchial asthma is high.
Bronchial asthma is allergic disease , which causes bronchospasm and thus breathlessness.
So we need to rule out asthma first.
So consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. PFT ( pulmonary function test ).
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of asthma is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and oral antihistamine and anti allergic drug.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
