Breathlessness
Hello Dr,
From past few days I'm hvg breathlessness. There is some heaviness in my chest. Its more during the mornings nd night. Sometimes I cant sleep at night nd then I inhale some camphor in a handkerchief nd feel better at times but not always. I even consulted a chest physician nd he prescribed some acidity syrup nd allegra 120. Felt better for few days but again the same issue. Whats the actual reason nd what shld I do to come out of this ?
