Suggest Remedy For Breathing Problems

I have been having episodes of breathing pains in my shoulder blades (lungs??) and sometimes chest. These happen for seemingly no reason and somewhat frequently. Also, during exercise I have breathing difficulties that come with high pitched sounds. What can this be caused by?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis (inflammation of airways) is more.
And the high pitch sound you are talking about is mostly due to wheezing which is again very common in bronchitis.. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (pulmonary function test).
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 will improve with inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Quit smoking if you are smoker.
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.
