All this affects her heart and im scared does anyone know any pills or liquid medicine that may help her asap.
Hi. I can understand your concern. Ideally ECG and 2d echo should be done first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry about heart diseases. Asthma is most common allergic disease which is not a curable disease but definitely controllable, by controlling the same you can lead a symptom free life. Usually presents with cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing and chest tightness. If not treated appropriately can be life-threatening. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. She may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
