General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
There are many reasons that cause shortness of breath. Some of them are:
-asthma
- bronchitis
- pneumonia,
- anxiety
-arrhythmia etc
Some examinations that I suggest are:
-blood test
-xray or ct scan
-spirometry
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Diaphragmatic Breathing
Also called abdominal breathing or deep breathing, diaphragmatic breathing can help manage your breathlessness.
-Drink Black Coffee
-Steam Inhalation: It will help keep your nasal passages decongested.
-Ginger is another excellent expectorant that can help treat chest or nasal congestion that may cause breathing difficulty.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
