Please help Doctor: Hello.Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you s follows:1. It s really good that you started going to Gym. In fact, I have seen many patients with asthma whose complaints dramatically improve by regular exercise. Personally I would suggest you to continue exercises.2. Were I treating you, I would suggest you montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 2-4 weeks. I would also suggest you to use salbutamol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms.3. I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances you may be allergic to, especially I would think of allergy to dust mites and indoor molds.Based on the testing report, an Allergist-Immunologist may suggest you avoidance measures and allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve your allergy symptoms.4. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.5. Regular breathing exercises including Yoga & Pranayama and healthy regular diet will also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively.Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.Wish you the best of the health.Thank you & Regards.
