Argh! Terry - I was faced with a similar situation with increased clear mucus and some chest pressure.

Decided to treat as an allergy first, then proceed. Upped my inhaler and Breathe Easy tea and I'm doing better but still frequently short of breath. Seeing my primary Tuesday for another pre-op (more hand surgery) and will get her opinion.

If your mucus is stickier or colored, I would call doc. Otherwise treat as allergy first and see what happens? Cats are deadly for me, even being around someone who has one at home can give me an asthma attack.

Hi Sue. I suspect it is the cat also. I have been taking antihistamines which seem to be working, but I do not want that to be my permanent solution. I also put a hepa free standing air purifier in my bedroom and I think that has been helping. So, you are having the shortness of breath too? Me too, more than usual. I think mine is due to the high humidity here. I can't wait for that to go away.
