I felt shortness of breath on 5th march 2020 all of a sudden, and I was feeling tired with excessive urge to yawn but most of the attempts were unsuccessful. So I visited a pulmonologist on 6th of march. He took a look and said my chest was clear and prescribed me azeflo nasal spray, otrinoz nasal drop, lumenac 600 effervescent, telekast f and soventus dc syrup. Post 3 to 4 days I again felt the urge to have deep breath and this time I felt light headedness too. So I consulted on phone to the doctor and he asked me to increase the dosage and get a few tests done. A ct scan of pns, ige blood test, chest xray, cbc and pft. In ct my sinus was bad as he said and my ige level was elevated to 647, so he performed pft but the session quality was poor. After pft the doctor said I am diagnosed with asthma and he prescribed budamate 200 transhaler to be taken twice daily 2 puffs along with all the previous medicines. I took them for a month and I felt relief but frequent yawning was always there. Post that I was completely ok for 10 days without the meds as due to the location I didn't go for follow up and the meds were finished. Now it again started a little but it isn't like before. I want to know whether I am really having asthma? And the treatment I am getting is right or should I consult a general physician. I went to the gym for a week and didn't felt shortness of breath I just felt frequent yawning like I am tired. I have been experiencing post nasal drip on daily basis, and I was a smoker before march 2020 I had almost quit on 4th of march before that you was having a couple of cigarettes to max 6 cigarettes daily. Kindly help.

Dear Lybrate user, whether you are asthmatic or not can be understood by your pft report. Please share that report along with all other prescription and reports. Meantime use your earlier prescribed inhaler wishing you good health.
