Breathing Difficulty, Dry Cough, Burning In Lungs After Using Deodorant. Asthma Symptoms?
Hi, I have noticed over the last few months that my breathing is uncomfortable, especially after using aerosol deodorant of my usual household cleaning spray. My lungs feel like i have breathed in water and i have a horrid dry cough when this happens. My breathing also seems to get bad if i am in close range of lilys. My lungs feel like they are on fire and the dry cough is terrible. Could i have developed asthma? Im 34 years old. Thanks

From your description it is apparent that you are atopy ie you are prone to develop allergy to various substances. First you shoud get a routine blood count and a x ray chest done to rule out any other lung pathology. Also get a PFT done to diagnose asthma. You should consult a pulmonologist as you may need anti inflammatory/allergy treatment in the form of inhalers or tablets.
