Report
Sir I have a problem of shortness of breath in running or cycling and sometimes even at rest. So I have consulted doctor and done pft and it is ruled out of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in small airways and early asthma. Hyperresponsiveness remains high. The reading of fev1-3.10 (pre best trial) and 3.51 (best post drug). I have also done feno test and its value is 17 which indicates ongoing airways inflammation. So doctor have prescribed me inhaler, montelukast,fexofenadine and one more asthma tablet. So I want your second opinion about my asthma problem and which best treatment I should follow. I have also used inhaler before for 6 to 7 months before and when I use inhaler then the sob decreases to some extent. The reports which I have mentioned is the recent reports. So pls tell me your opinion and tell me the treatment I should follow.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, your diagnosis is correct, now you have to manage your health. Airway inflammation is best treated by inhaled medicines (inhalers, rotainhalers). But you do need an individualised treatment program, which includes 1) reducing drug doses whenever you are better, 2) vaccination to prevent seasonal & serious infections and 3) rehabilitation in form of breathing exercises, diet etc. Kindly contact on Lybrate consultation platform for better understanding your health requirements and treatment advice. Wishing you a good health.
