What Causes Breathing Problem, Acid Reflux And Cold?
Question: I got a breathing trouble possibly due to late dinner and acidity reflux twice in past 3 weeks.
After check ups from doctors and PFT and chest xray, it was found out that there is moderate obstruction and restriction also. and so many medicines of anti-allergy, acidity and cold were given, when I was not having cold. I didn't take medicines and my family called me home and I showed other Doc in XXXXXXX and he said there is nothing much and gave anti-biotic and anti-acidity and cold medicine again. But I only took anti-acidity as suggested by Doc friend and started timely meals , sleep and yoga.
After coming back to Baroda and started having breathing trouble again I visited earlier doc again and he suggested to take anti-allergy one also. and couldn't tell me possible reason for this. I used to cycle to work , 6 kms one way, atleast 3 days a week, and I want to know if pollution is the reason or anxiety, fast and erratic lifestyle. Should I could cycling? Though I am not doing it now since 1.5 weeks.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the response.
As I understand Montelukast is a complete 10 day course, can I discontinue in between or should I finish this?
I am still not able to understand the possible reason for the same, if it is continuous pollution or dust exposure while cycling (though I use scarf to cover my nose and face), or more because of acidity? if I am able to understand the same, I can take the precautionary measures.
Kindly suggest.
