Suggest Treatment For Asthma And Headache

Hi for about 8 weeks I have had light headiness, felt dizzy and have felt short of breathe. I am 28 year old female non smoker. HAVE HAD ECG and blood tests, now my doc has said I may have mild asthma without even checking my chest?.. I have taken the pump a couple of days and it hasn't helped. Any ideas?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Asthma can present in different ways including chest pain,shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing.

It is a possible cause of shortness of breath but there are others and normally it would be diagnosed if there are additional signs or symptoms present.
If you are unsure, then it may be best to have appropriate testing done to determine if this is the case. This would include chest examination and lung function testing.

Since you are not experiencing any relief, it may be best to be reviewed.

I hope this helps
