Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to XXXXXXX forum.
Let men know the associated symptoms along with breathlessness.
Do you have cough with sputum/ chest heaviness?
At what time breathlessness is severe? whether whole day or at night times.
Have you undergone spirometry/ pulmonary function test previously?
With the available described symptoms, there appears to be possibility of allergy induced bronchial asthma and eye irritation.
Feeling tires , fatigue and fast heart rate may also be due t decreased oxygenation of blood due to respiratory disturbances.
Although few of your symptoms such as feeling tired and fast heart rate could be due to some sort of anxiety component, but breathlessness and red eye can't be a depressive symptoms and every effort should be made to find the cause.
Bronchial asthma can be diagnosed by clinical examination and spirometry.
At times, silent asthma is persisting and all relevant clinical examination and investigations are normal, this condition is called as "Cough Variant Asthma".
Although acid reflux may cause persistent cough but never causes redness of eyes.
You should consult with your treating doctor or XXXXXXX medicine specialist/ chest physician and should go for thorough check up.
You have already undergone a chain of investigations and all are found to be normal.
You should also go for endoscopy under guidance of gastroenterologist/ XXXXXXX medicine specialist.
As such Supradyn , Calcimax forte and B12 supplement won't help your conditions.
You should take Levocetrizine + Montelukast, Proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetics, zileuton and bronchodilators containing B2 agonist and anticholinergics on written prescription.
You should also take low dose steroid, benzanotate along with codeine sulphate from your local doctor.

Hope that helps.
Let me know if I can address any more concerns.
Take care,

My PFT reports are normal. I also did serum electrolytes and urine tests. They were also normal.But I'm having a lot of exhaustion, which my Dr says is due to anxiety.But I'm having breathless and fatigue since a long time now( 3 to 4 yrs). I'm tensed that something is wrong with me and should be identified soon otherwise it could get worse.It is also affecting my studies, cause I get tired really fast.Pls do advise me if any more tests are needed or do I need 2 visit some specialist? I want to be rest assured that there is no problem.Could it be because of lack of exercise? Or is it Psychological as my Dr says? Cause my mom died 3 yrs back and she was in coma for a while, which left me a little shattered, cause it hurt me to see her suffer so much.Waiting for your reply.Thank You for your guidance.
Hi,
You should take Tiomate inhaler for relief of your breathlessness.
With all normal investigation, possibility of any serious illness appears to be low.
You can take Stalopam Plus for coming one month and see the improvement.
