i use an inhaler and have just been out for a walk. I walked up hill and found that i could not breathe was wheezing and got a pain in my chest and right shoulder . I wasn t too far from home so went back to get my inhaler and feel fine now. This has happened a few times - is this just asthma or should i get checked out. m
Hello dear, Wheezing is a continuous, coarse, whistling sound produced during breathing due to bronchoconstriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages (seasonal allergy or asthma) Nebulization or Inhalers will provide symptomatic relief by causing bronchodilator (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)Montelukast preparations can also be used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies & asthma by reducing bronchoconstriction. There is no need to worry...just make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens. If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Pulmonologist for further management. Wishing you a good health and speedy recovery. Thanks & Take care.
