Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath And Sinus Infection

You could be having RAD
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for posting your query on HCM and I empathize with you on your distress because of various medical issues.
In my opinion you are suffering from RAD-Reactive Airways Disease.
In RAD, airways become very sensitive and hypereactive especially after a bout of viral infection. As a result they go into spasm on exposure to various allergens like smoke and dust in our environment. This leads to breathlessness and cough. Do you have any allergy and are you a smoker?
You will have to take inhalers. Try different inhalers like symbicort 2 puffs 2 to 3 times a day. Also take a montair lc tablet.
Excess gastric acid or GERD may worsen the symptoms hence you should also take a PPI like pan 40 or sompraz.
You have to take these for a longer duration like 3 to 4 weeks for complete relief.
If with these measures you are still not relieved of your symptoms , I suggest you see a pulmonologist as he will have a look at you, may order some investigations and advise you accordingly.
I hope this answers your query
