Hi, thanks. I used to get allergic cold attack almost every month for the past few years. I consulted an ENT specialist and she suggested fluticasone nasal spray. I was using this for more than a year and recently stopped. Nowadays the frequency of cold attack has significantly reduced but whenever I get it, it is very severe. I suspect this nasal spray has become allergic and causes shortness of breath. So I don't use it nowadays.
I don't feel the shortness of breath while doing workouts. I feel it while resting. Recently I have started doing a breathing exercise called brahmari Pranayama. I found this on youtube is very effective. I breath in and hold the breath as long as possible and breath out with a Humming sound. This increases nitric oxide flow that I believe kills germs in the Airway. Started doing this about a week back and no shortness of breath since then.
Sleep apnea happened a few times occasionally I have not taken any treatment so far. Dr suggested sleep study but I have not gone through that and no attacks in the past 1 month. Will update my progress frequently.
