Suggest Treatment For Lightheadedness And Breathing Difficulty
my daughter (17) is lightheaded and is having difficulty breathing. this happened about one week ago all of a sudden she was wheezing and had trouble breathing; gave her benedryl; then earlier today in school started to wheeze again and has had trouble breathing; around 5:30 pm the trouble breathing was back - I gave her claritin; she is still having trouble breathing, although it seems to comeand go; when she can [t breathe she becomes lightheaded
Most probably it is due to hypotension (low blood pressure).
However other causes like anemia and thyroid dysfunction also been ruled out. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
