Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath Due To Cold Weather Conditions
I was subjected to cool temperature sor about four hours and not enough clothing. I went into severe uncotrolled shaking being covered with many blankets. This lasted about thirty minuets and thenI experienced a few minuits of shortness of breath. I am. 82 years old. Is this shock?

Hi,
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to brochospasm from allergy to cold. Taking a strong coffee will be helpful. If not improving then nebulization with salbutamol or short course of corticosteroids will be needed. You can also take antihistamines like cetrizine (zyrtec) once daily.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks, Dr. Nishad BN
