Patient's Query
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.
