Asthma?

[TailPoof]

I had trouble breathing three days ago so I called my doctor and was put on antihistamine and relief inhalur. My nan took my cat. I needed the inhaler after the first attack caused by mold spores (I think), candles in shop (essential shopping), hand sanitiser, dust or cat hair and fizzy drink. I set it off again with fizzy drink and had to use inhaler twice in half hour to fully recover. My doctor origanally said cat allergy but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

Even with deep cleaning it can take a while for "cat" to not be around. That said, without testing it's difficult to say what it might be, especially as one can be extra sensitive after something has set it off.

Sounds like hayfever ive been like that for over a week . How long have you had your cat ? if you have just recently purchased it could be allergic reactions , if you have had it a while without any allergic reactions wouldn't have thought it was the cat . Going off my experience with cats within a hour I'm suffering allergic reactions .Hope this helps you but I'm no doctor just going off my asthma triggers .

Tree pollen season has arrived and quite a few folk have posted on here that it has affected them in the last three weeks.

Your GP can test your allergies with a blood test.

Montelukast is a good asthma med that tackles allergies. I can now tolerate cats.

It sounds like you have quite a lot of triggers so if the antihistamines don't help you'll need to see your GP again.
