Shortness of breath with nasal blockage
Hello I am a 34 years old male having on and off shortness of breathing for last 15 years that improves automatically within 2-3 days but not associated with cough. Mostly it hapens while talking to my clients for a long time but it subsides after taking rest for sometime. Whenever I feel shortness of breathing I also feel tired on walking upstairs.but when shortness of breath goes off I live a normal life no problem at all. I have a strong family history of asthma. I did ECG echocardiograpgh thyroid profile chest x ray spirometry R/E blood, lipid profile all are normal. Only IgE level is high293 and x ray nose and PNS shows right maxillary haziness. So what will be the probable diagnosis. Is it asthma or something else? and is it due to the chronic on and off nasal blockage? What should I do? I saw a Pulmonologist and currently taking esiflo 125 BD. SO kindly suggest me what should I do and what might be the probable diagnosis?

Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest

Inview of a strong family history and history of intermittent shortness of breath, it can be asthma inspite of normal spirometry. Continue using esiflo and see if there is symptom relief with that. In the meanwhile, it is also best to see an ENT specialist and treat the chronic sinusitis.
