One problem that I can't seem to wrap my head around that kinda scares me is these weird breathing issues I have. With any kind of physical activity, I get shortness of breath. No wheezing, no panting, it's just a heaviness in my chest almost like I'm not getting enough oxygen when I breathe in. It's nothing anyone can hear, it's something I feel. Maybe even a heaviness with a little burning in my lungs. It definitely get's worse if I run into something that triggers me (chemicals, fragrances, smells, etc.) But I get it just randomly too. And singing or reading books to my son is definitely problematic and it aggravates it. Now the real clencher for me is that I take Singulair 10 mg twice a day and I feel like that should be taking this away. But nope. I still have it. Perhaps not as bad as I used to have it but I definitely still have it too much for taking that amount of medicine.

What's the deal?
Am I taking the wrong meds? I have had 3 chest x-rays and a breathing function test. Nothing showed up.
I asked Dr. Afrin about Churg strauss and he said I didn't have it......now he is an incredibly smart doctor but I just worry about it which I should not be doing.

Any thoughts?

If you havent had asthma before, this isnt it now, especially if there is no wheezing in the chest, Hon, this is part of masto and it isnt that the meds you are on arent right--youre doing much better, they ARE right for you. You may need to add something to it OR increase one of the antihistamine doses each day. Only you can say which one helps it after you try. You gotta be a detective LOL.. sorry Hon, I have it too and so do so many of us! The good news is, youre smart and I bet you can take an extra zyrtec (or whatever you choose) in the middle of the day or an extra benadryl at night and this will get better. It wont go away 100% just pace yourself ok? We ALL have to tweak our own meds now and then
