allergies??asthma?

[lal18]

I'm  18 yrs old.Ever since I gave birth a year ago, i've been having these terrible breathing problems.I have a cough that hasn't gone away ever since i came home from the hospital.I get to the point to where I have to gasp for air at times and the cough makes me throw up.B/c of the cough my eyes water,i get very sweaty and it feels like pressure in my chest.I feel relief for a week or two but it always comes back.When I take a deep breath,I feel rattling in my chest.The doc gave me medicine once but didnt help.When I wake up in the morning,I spend 20 minutes sneezing,and blowing my nose.The sneezing is mainly only in the morning and I've had that for a year also.What could this be?

Hi,

sounds like it could be asthma, which may be exaccerbated by allergies.

But this could also be something else, and if it is asthma / allergies and is as severe as you describe it needs to be properly treated.

Please go back to your doctor and makee sure they test and work out what's going on and get some proper treatment.
