Breathing issue
Hello Doctors, I'm not able to breath properly since last couple of years. Now the problem has risen and Almost whole day I feel dryness in nasals and whole day feel disturbed due to difficultly in breathing.
I used to take Otrivin and similar nasal drops but that gives temporary relief. Specially my left nose is always dry and I found difficult to breath.. I don't have any cold and cough. Working almost 10-12 hours a day but due to breathing difficulties, my sleep get disturbed around 3-4 times in night. No other issues as such. No BP, sugar etc..
Please please help..I'm in bad need since without easy breathing it's difficult to concentrate and enjoy anything...feeling low some time inspite of doing daily morning walk..
Thanks a lot !! Please help !!

As per your history your problem is probably related to your upper airways and not the lungs. Your nose dryness can aggravate especially in the present humid climate. It’s important to identify the cause of your dryness and just taking nasal drops such as Otrivin won’t benefit you. Hydrate yourself and have atleast 4 to 5 liters of water everyday to prevent excess dryness of your nose. Avoid exposure to dust and humid climate and you will probably need anti inflammatory nasal spray rather than nasal decongestants such as otrivin. It’s better to get evaluated by an ENT specialist so that they can examine your nose and give an exact reason for your problem.

Hi
It seems you have airway disease. For that you need to consult a pulmonologist. You need to do a pulmonary function test and allergy test. According to that you need inhalers .
