This happened to me 2 summers ago for the entire summer. I thought it was asthma but it just went away eventually. It also caused me some problems where I couldnt taste ANY freaking food.. wtf. Well you should do some breathing exercises.
Breathe in deeply, filling first the bottom of your lungs, then the middle, and then the top and hold your breath for 10-15 more seconds, then exhale slowly.
Breathe deeply, filling the BOTTOM of your lungs, and then the middle, hold your breath for 15-20 seconds, then exhale slowly.
Breathe quickly, filling only the top of your lungs, then exhale. Exhale and force every little bit of air out, and hold the emptiness of air for as long as you can, and then breathe in deeply, continuing this once more, or twice more.
This is an exercise that helped me breathe better AND it expands your lung capacity [=
edit; I don't have allergies, but I do have asthma but that wasn't the cause of everything. I went to the doctor's for it, and they wanted to do overnight tests, but I was too scared so I just waited til it went away XD lol. My inhaler didn't help a bit.Health Question & Answer
