What Is The Treatment Of Nasal Congestion,breathing Problem And Extreme Fatigue?

Hi, I have severe problems related to Allergy and the symptoms are..nasal congestion,breathing problem,extreme fatigue,senseless like symptoms(black out) sometimes. I have consulted one doctor and he suggested RID AR tablet regularly and Fluticone FT nasal spray..The problems have been mitigated a little but the problems are still persisting. He also suggested to quit smoking and I have also tried but when ever I stop smoking for 2-3 days the problems suddenly becomes bigger and if I smoke it becomes less severe..Any suggestions will be of great help...

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your nasal symptoms are more suggestive of allergic rhinitis.
Your breathing difficulty is mostly due to smoking induced bronchitis.
Sudden stoppage of smoking can cause withdrawal symptoms. So you are should takes medical assistance forcing smoking cessation. Counseling, nicotine replacement therapy etc will smoothen your smoking cessation process.
Consult pulmonologist and get done PFT. PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Continue same treatment (RID AR and fluticon FT nasal spray) for allergic rhinitis for 5-6 months.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
