I m lightheaded. Have shortness of breath (also have asthma) I can feel my pulse beat in my temple. One day my blood pressure is 90/60 then 2 days later its 135/74....under the same circumstances of rest and fasting. I also have been having odd stabbing pains in my calves. Right now it feels like I can t fill my lungs to full capacity.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Shortness of breath can be due to a number of health issues. It can be caused by anemia, respiratory infection or disease, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, and allergies.

Some advices that I can give you are:
•     Practice abdominal breathing or deep breathing, diaphragmatic breathing can help manage your breathlessness.
• Drink black coffee.
• If a respiratory problem is causing breathlessness, steam inhalation is a good option.
• Consume ginger.
• If your shortness of breath is due to anemia caused by iron deficiency, you can eat beetroot to improve your condition.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
