I have also been short of breath for a couple of weeks. The emergency room that examined me for about five hours could not find the cause. Will the Hydroxyzine worsen the shortness of breath?

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!

It may have a small influence on breathing, but not anything serious. I don't think that it will exacerbate your shortness of breath.

But, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible causes underlying shortness of breath:

- a cardiac ultrasound and NT pro BNP levels for possible heart failure
- a chest X ray study and pulmonary function tests for any possible lung disorders
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- D-Dimmer plasma levels for possible pulmonary embolism.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
