[|Human|] I am suffering from chest tightness and breathlessness. I am taking Seretide 250/50 mcg twice daily, montelukast and fexofenadine daily, but not much improvement. My local doctor has also given me trifluoperazine and clonazepam but not working to relieve chest tightness. Please advise.
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since you are on inhaled treatment and anti-allergic with antihistamine, in my opinion you are having mostly asthma. And viral infection is the most common cause for worsening of underlying asthma. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out infection. PFT will tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of asthma is based on severity only. You may need short course of oral steroid or oral bronchodilators. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Don't worry, you will be alright.
