Can't take a deep breath

[SOB62]

I was reading where others was having problems taking a deep breath. I also have that problem and sometimes a choking feeling. I also have sleep apnea. Dr. just said I had asthma and put me on advair which I took myself off because it made me swell really bad, he then put me on fluid pills. It always seems like more pills to take care of symptoms caused by medicine. I wish I could get to the root of this problem. I did have panic attacks about 8 years ago. I also like others who posted, don't do well with dairy products. Dairy seems to make it worse.

You may be allergic to something, or just sick. The reason I say you may just be sick is because Dairy will cause mucus and inflammation to flare in a lot of people when they are sick. However, you're doctor is probably right with the asthma diagnosis, but Advair isn't a great thing. I have activity induced asthma and because of my asthma i am prone to chest congestion and so on. I was put on advair and all it did was make my asthma flare. I would definitely recommend talking to your doctor about an albuterol rescue inhaler. I wouldn't use anything other than that until you take a breathing test!
It will at least help the symptoms until you can get down to the main cause!
Good luck!
