Feel Like Lungs Are Constricted, Difficulty In Breathing. Advised Asthma, Allergies And A Mix. Suggestions?

For the last two months i have been feeling like something is constricting my lungs and making it very difficult to breathe. It sounds like i am clearing my throat all day. I have went to the doctors office and the ER, they have told me it was my asthma, allergies and a mix. When I went to the ER it was just said that I have allergies with a nasal drip. I was prescribed a new inhaler and some nasal spray. What else can I do to help get over this! I feel like it is driving me insane! Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Asthma is a part of allergic disorders. Post nasal drip may be due to allergic rhinites as your doctor specified it is due to allergy. Get done complete hemogram, AEC level and spirometry once to diagnose. Your symptoms does not point towards asthma. So tell us if any breathless ness, night awakening, difficulty in laughing or playing, what time of the day you syffer from symptoms. For allergic rhinites you can take nasal steroid spray and antihistamine drug.Tak montelukast which will help for bath AR and asthma. Consult your doctor for further management.
Hope I answered your question. Get back to me if you have any further queries and management or if you find any problem with the reports.
Wish you good health. Take care.
