Hi doctor,
Recently, I have been experiencing breathlessness. It happens mostly when I am idle or lying down. I feel no discomfort while running. But, I feel like I am short of breathe when I sit idle. I am a 23 year old male. I am reasonably fit. I do not smoke, although I drink occasionally and moderately. I was diagnosed with deviated nasal septum a few years ago. Sometimes, I use Otrivin and Nasonex nasal spray when I feel congestion and irritation in my nose.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- As per your history, you experience breathlessness while being idle and not during exercise suggests an airway problem.
- Supportive to this, you also suffer from a deviated nasal septum, which may cause nasal obstruction and that may sometimes cause breathlessness.
- Patients with allergic rhinitis may have underlying asthma. So, it is also important to rule out asthma. Spirometry test helps to rule out asthma problem.
- If spirometry suggests any airway disease, then you can take help of local doctor for further information and treatment.
- For nasal problem, you can continue using the same nasal sprays.
