General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

Your symptoms are suggestive of bronchial tree allergy(asthma). You should avoid polluted environments and you should not stay in a same place with animals such as dogs and cats.
Flowers and perfumes can cause asthma, too.

To confirm the diagnosis you need these tests:
1. Respiratory function test.
2. Skin testing for allergies.
3. Blood leukocytes formula test.
4. Urine test.

The treatment of this disease depends on the results of the above tests.

The results of these tests will confirm the diagnosis and will help your allergist in determining the treatment.

I hope I answered your question.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
