37F seeking a second pulmonology opinion. For 5-6 months I’ve had intermittent dry cough, air hunger, chest tightness/heaviness, mild breathlessness while talking, and upper back ache. Triggers include dust, incense smoke, and cold air; warm humid air helps. Occasional wheeze on forced exhalation. Slight nagging pain at back between the shoulder blades is also there. I also have hoarseness, voice fatigue, reduced singing ability, and a history of reflux. Pulmonologist suspects CVA...but is it possible to have asthma when all reports are normal? Including Ige?
Please suggest as though I'm on treatment, I'm clueless on what's wrong with me ...
Feno result is 17. Attaching pft report .
I'm 37y old woman. since last dec I have had intermittent cough, and over the last few weeks have developed episodes of air hunger/unsatisfied deep breath, chest heaviness/tightness (especially over the sternum), and occasional breathlessness while talking or after exertion. I also have a persistent upper back ache between the shoulder blades that often precedes the air-hunger sensation.
Symptoms are triggered by dust, incense smoke, cold/chilly air and temperature changes. Warm humid air feels more comfortable. I occasionally notice wheeze on forced exhalation. Cough is mostly dry with very little sputum; once or twice I coughed up a tiny amount of thick light-yellow mucus.
I also have hoarseness, reduced singing ability and reflux/acidity symptoms sometimes. CBC and IgE are normal; Vitamin D is low. ENT suspected allergic bronchitis/CVA and started Foracort Rotahaler, with partial improvement in cough and some episodes of chest tightness... what could it be?
I had TB in my lung and had a scar/mark and I got to know that I also has ABPA Apergillus allergy, I sometime feel breathing problem, I also had covid positive Didn't had steroid for covid but positive and bit breathing problem.
My psychiatrist said I have adhd and tried all medicines ,not only is the medicine remaining is Guanfacine er/ Clonidine ER
I am worrying Because I have read on the internet that these two medicines can cause upper respiratory Infection
Should I take this Medicine or not?as I already have lung conditions
Looking for advice as many as possible
