What Is The Cause For Breathing Problems When On Albuterol Inhaler And Methypredisilone After Having Stopped Smoking?
stopped smoking about 2 weeks ago, had a stuffy nose and watery, itchy eyes that lasted for a few days that I took over the counter medicine to combat. after nose cleared I started wheezing and having a felling of not being able to take a deep breath. Went to quick care and got Albuterol inhaler and Methypredisilone. Walked and ran today for about 50 minutes but still felt as if I could not get a full deep breath .

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You have stopped smoking 2 weeks ago. Now you are having stuffy nose, itchy eyes, cleared with OTC medicines. Then started wheezing,and unable to take breath.
All these are due to the allergy, or eosinophelia. I advise you to consult a chest physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms cifixime, theophylline, etophylline, di ethyl carbamazipine citrate, citrizine containing cough syrup.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have enough resistance against the infections.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
