What Causes Shortness Of Breath Along With Nasal Congestion And Chest Pain?

Good Evening Doctor, I currently in Qatar and suffering from sever nose block or nasal congestion. But i do not have cold or cold related symptoms, I am having nasal block either in one nose or both the nose. At times it keeps alternating, Because of this nose block, I am suffering from breathing difficulty, shortness of breath, chest pain becuase of trying to pull breathe either through mouth or nose. I use to get similar problem when i was in india and I used to drive the bike or cook food in the kitchen, Doctor in India had told me that I have deviated septum plus allergy as well, He had prescribed for me Allegra - Fexofandine tablet, Allerfix Total & Flowmist/Flonase along with Nasoclear - Saline Nasal Spray. I request you to tell me whether i can again use these tablets or there are better alternatives, I am really having a tough time breathing & even while sleeping. I have done some research on internet and come up with ideas like I may have Enlarged Adenoids or Allergic Asthama, I would like to know your view and request fora remedy. Thanks

Hello,
I can understand your concern.
Since you have been diagnosed with deviated nasal septum. Because of this you are having symptoms of nasal obstruction and dufficulty in breathing through nose.
The best way to get cured is septoplasty surgery which is the correction of the deviated septum.
This would permanently cure the problem.
In the mean time you can continue using steroid nasal spray fluticasone for one month and tab allegra 120mg once daily for ten days.
A proper ent examination would he helpful.
Stay away from allergens.
It might not be an asthma because ur problems subside with open mouth breathing.
Hope i have answered your concerns.
Feel free to ask further queries.
Thanku.
