Breathing Difficulties

2020-04-13 10:36:05
M a asthama patient from childhood, since 10 days I having slight breathing difficulty and pain in chest both side and back sides also.Am having breathing normal but I feel like their is some discomfort while breathing and slight chest pain in between. I went to pulmonologist for this also, she prescribed some medicine for a week , but is not cured yet. I took one x Ray of chest also, and pulmonologist informed nothing to worry after seeing x Ray. I don't have fever, cold or cough neither any of the symptoms of covid 19. But I am concerned that breathing difficulty is also symptom of covid 19, please suggest that whether I should undergo covid 19 test or not.

Hi , I want to know if you are from hotspot areas  where covid is in high incidence, (if no testing is not indicated as of now if you are now health care worker or have followed lock down and no contact with a positive patient) If from hotspot area/ travel history we have to assess for symptoms like fever sore throat etc. Testing has very specific indications as of now. Moreover it can be ur uncontrolled asthma also

Hi. You may be having an excarbation of your asthma which is very common. Don't worry continue medications as prescribed by your pulmonolgist. Consult again if your complain increases or persists for a week with medications. Identify the cause of your excarbation (like eg. Simple cleaning of home, some foods, etc)  and try to avoid for next time
