Hi. I have been having shortness of breath, get winded easily and wheezing. Been going on for about a month or so. I m usually tired but that is normal for me. I do smoke but usually when i drink(twice a week). I feel somewhat better when I take albuterol. Should I be concerned?
As you mentioned you have problem of shortness of breath and wheezing sound that may be because of any respiratory problems or lung lesion....
Clinical examination is helpful for further diagnosis.. Chest X ray for further diagnosis.. You have history of smoking also... Consult a pulmonologist for further diagnosis... Detail history and physical examination give exact idea about problems..
Thank you.
