Difficult time breathing + other symptoms
Posted: 11-14-07 01:44am

Similar post to the other one. The other one is just so huge and I have my own issues.

For the past month, I am having a difficult time breathing. I normally have anxiety but haven't had any lately. This is really not anxiety-related. I also have extreme dizziness, nausea at times, sometimes headaches (today was a killer). I have a little cough when I can't breathe at all. I don't wheeze nor do I cough up anything. I moved to this state about 5 months ago. I went to the doctors and my heart "sounds" alright (just did a brief listen) and my lungs are clear. He gave me an asthma inhaler and it doesn't seem to work anymore. I have only used it a few times and got it last week. At the doctors office, it worked a little. The next day, it worked slightly. Now it really doesn't seem to work. I had asthma as a child and this just seems so different.
I can't even walk up a flight of stairs without feeling extremely winded. This weekend, I walked up three flights of stairs and it took me about 15 minutes to catch my breath. When I have to walk quickly to get my phone, it takes me about 2 minutes to recover. I just had my second baby (4 months ago).

The doctor initially stated that it's probably just allergies. I find it hard to believe I am allergic to something this much. Does anyone else have allergies with these symptoms. I am wondering if I recently developed an allergy to something.

Have you suffered from severe nasal congestion lately?
Do you have stuffy nose, itchy nose and throat, mucus production?
When do you usually cough?
Is your asthma properly controlled with meds?

Maybe you could work with a specialist on a stress test. This doesn't seem normal.
