I took Dexamethasone ( anti allergic for eyes itch ) and I do feel better ..even I don't have that sneeze in the morning .what worries me is the shortness of breath they are not often and they don't last. Am I allergic ..do I have asthma or this shortness of breath and left pain have to do with heart problem ? Help please !

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Looks like you're allergic responses are causing Allergic Rhinitis & Allergic Conjunctivitis. Consult an allergy specialist. First he may do a blood IgE levels to see if they are raised. Next, he will do skin testing. This test is painless, in which a very small amount of certain allergens are pricked into the surface of your skin. If you have allergies, just a little swelling will occur where the allergen was introduced.  Reactions occur within about 15 minutes. If needed more sensitive intradermal tests will be used in which a small amount of allergen is injected within the skin. Based on this he may plan for immunotherapy.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I would get checked out, but sounds like environmental allergies to me ..we get them a lot here , I think its the aerial spraying they are doing with the world wide programs on weatherisation.. look up 'What on Earth are they Spraying .
