Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you daily montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 2 weeks.

2. I would also suggest you to use inhaler salbutamol or levosalbutamol for difficulty in breathing symptoms on as-and-when-needed basis.

3. From your symptoms, I would not think of heart problem first. I would first think of nose lung problem which may be due to allergies. Of course, smoking can worsen any lung problem.

4. Personally I would suggest you allergy testing for inhalant allergens like house dust mites, common molds & pollens in your area. If you are allergic to any particular substance, avoiding them is the best option.

5. Personally I would suggest you to seek professional advise for quitting smoking as it can worsen any respiratory problem. I would also suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution in general.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
