Hello,
U have shortness of breath & taking steroids from long time. As you have eosinophilia,that means you are allergic to some allergen. Steroid should be stopped after few weeks of treatment. Consult your nearest doctor, he may start anti-allergic treatment.
You should note down which type of allergen causes discomfort & aggravate your symptoms. Then avoid them if possible. Use handkerchief /mask when there is dust in air.
Consult nearest physician for your symptoms.
Take care. Thanks.
