Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have breathlessness. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like asthma attack , pneumonia , heart attack , atrial fibrillation , pulmonary embolism or anaemia . I would suggest you to consult chest specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order chest x-ray along with sample from lung for lab testing . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory and decongestants . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for heart problem . For now take proper rest and take steam twice a day .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
