Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Shortness of breath can be due to a number of health issues. It can be caused by anemia, respiratory infection or disease, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, and allergies.
Some advices that I can give you are: • Practice abdominal breathing or deep breathing, diaphragmatic breathing. • Black coffee can also help cure shortness of breath. • If a respiratory problem is causing breathlessness then steam inhalation is a good option • Consume ginger • If your shortness of breath is due to anemia caused by iron deficiency, you can eat beetroot to improve your condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
