Yes you are right, latanoprost do effect you if you have some breathing problem. You need to talk to your doctor, he/she will give you some other medicine to decrease pressure inside the eye.

Yes you are right I was on 3 different eye drops, started getting all sorts of problems, turns out eye drops were to blame, doctor has now changed all my eye drops, sorry cannot remember name of eye drops, but I now read all leaflets that come with all medication, if I read any thing in them I am unsure about I go and show my doctor, and ask advice. I am lucky I have a brilliently understanding doctor.
