Breathing difficulty
Hello Doctor,
I am a 28 year old lady. From last 2 months I am facing breathing difficulty (on and off ). ECG was normal but there was low RBC (9.8). I consulted doctor who gave me some antiallergic medicines but it was of no use. I suspect it to be allergic'coz it started during wheat harvesting. There is no wheezing also no discomfort during sleep. I feel as if long breath is hindered.
Can allergic reactions be so long?
No fever, no pain in throat during swallowing,no tonsils.
Also, can PNS cause breathing difficulty?
How to confirm if it is due to allergy?
There is no ailment other than this.
Thank you in advance.
