What causes heavy chest and breathing difficulty?
Patient: hi doctor, my wife is having dust allergy and being a teacher has to travel to remote village by bus, she is feeling heavy weight in chest and unable to breath properly, she coughs but sputum extract is not there, kindly suggest, this problem is there since last 1 year, she is 32 years now Doctor: Hi ThereAfter reading the details provided by you i understand your concern for your wife's health. As she is asthmatic and allergic to dust the most important precaution is to avoid dust and if her job is in village area then it become difficult to avoid dust. Discuss with her if possible change the job location or else she she need to wear dust proof mask all the time while out.Its also advisable that she should consult a pulmonologist for evaluation. I would like to put her on some MAST CELL STABILIZERS like MONTELUKAST for her dry cough. You have to consult a doctor personally for a written prescription.I wish her good health
