Could my new symptoms of breathing difficulty and chest tightness during allergy attacks?which I currently treat with Allegra 120 and cetirizine?be the start of asthma, and what kind of doctor should I see for this?
Yes, experiencing breathing difficulty and chest tightness during allergy attacks can suggest the onset of allergy-induced asthma. Your current antihistamines, Allegra (fexofenadine) and cetirizine, are excellent for managing nasal allergies, but they do not treat airway inflammation in the lungs. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with an allergist or a pulmonologist. They can perform simple breathing tests to provide a clear diagnosis and help you find the right treatment to breathe easier.
