Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted when you exposed to particular substance like dust or perfume feeling some respi problems....
You might have allergic inflammation to that allergen....
Try to avoid contact with allergen like dust , perfume etc. ..
Take antihistaminic drug to relieve inflammation...
If needed prophylactically fexofenedine and montelukast can be taken....
Get your CBC done ...to look for eosinophilia.
You can investigate with pulmonary function test to rule out asthma....
Take care.
