“I am on an allergy medicine. Could it cause asthma?”
I am a 36 year old woman and I am suffering from skin allergy for which I have been prescribed certain medications by the doctor. However, since the time I started consuming these medicines I have been having breathlessness. Could it be a side effect?

Please speak with your doctor regarding your breathlessness as it could be a side effect of the medication.

You have an allergy. Please schedule an appointment with an allergy specialist to do a skin antigen test in the office. It will find out what is causing your allergy. I also do food allergy tests in my office, too. Asthma can be triggered by an allergy. It needs medical attention, so please schedule an appointment with your primary care physician.

Cannot cause asthma, but can can cause drying of the mucous, making it harder to clear from air tubes, and even producing wheezing for some
It is more likely that you are allergic to that medication. Stop it and immediately talk to you doctor. Feeling as though your throat is closing is an emergency.
Yes, go back to the dr and get on something else. All drugs have such effects, some more than others.
