Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I been having shortness of breath in the evening, making it impossible for me to sleep. I ve also been coughing up a clear color mucus. During the day, I breathe normal. I ve been to the doctor -- first I was given antibiodics -- no help -- then I was given medication for acid reflux -- this also didn t help. What could be the cause of my shortness of breath.

Hi,
Sleeping flat on bed might make you breathless .when it's a broncheal problem. You can go for an allergy screening test.
this would give you cause for your problem.this would be followed by cause specific management. Please consult an allergy specialist.
Till then you can try over the counter Tab.derriphyllin. Along with other medication you are taking.
