You may be experiencing symptoms of asthma. I recommend using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help relieve your breathlessness. The usual dosage for Ventolin inhaler is 1-2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed for shortness of breath. It is important to use it as directed by your healthcare provider.

I'm having trouble breathing properly, especially taking deep breaths. I've been using doxophylline 650mg sr, but I feel pain in the right side of my chest when I breathe. Sometimes I even have to hold my chest just to manage it. I've tried anxiety meds and something for a chest infection, but I'm still worried. Do you have any idea what could be going on?
