Breathlessness

2016-07-21 12:45:09
Hi, I am facing breathing difficulties for past 3 days. I have no symptom of cough, cold or nasal congestion. Somehow managing to breath through mouth. I can breath well when I sleep but during the day and while working, I face sever issue breathing normally. I consulted a general physician today and he advised to get Pulmonary function test. Results of which are perfectly normal. There is no symptom of having asthma or any related disease. Doctor recommended to try balloon blow exercise and conscious breathing practices. Can somebody advise on further course of actions?

Upload the PFT report.. asthma shows a normal PFT if done once.. you need a post bronchodilator PFT study to rule out asthma... Second possibility is severe acidity Use something for controlling acidity Hope this helps
