General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Welcome dear!

Thanks for consulting me at my virtual clinic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.
I need some answers. If you feel shortness of breath during runnig or climbing stairs, go to the Physician for cardiac evaluation. Also consult him for asthma if you have a wheezing sound when breathing during the problem.
But it seems you are allergic to something in your room. Change bedsheets daily, change your pillows. Keep room clean.
 You may take tablet Fexofenadine120mg twice daily for 7days and try to contact me directly from my profile for follow up so that your issue can be resolved.

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful' & give a five Stars too. Write a review about your experience with me.
