So I'm turning to the more experience members of TCS here...the past few days I have been short of breath, especially when I go outside. It feels like I can't take a full breath - not pressure, just like my lungs won't go. I think as a result of that I'm feeling sort of light-headed, or like my head is floating or something. Its mild enough that I'm having a hard time describing what it feels like - not terribly bad, just odd. I'm tired a lot too, but that could just be me.
I've got a steroid inhaler for asthma-mimicking allergy symptoms as well as a rescue inhaler, but its going to take about a week or two for the steroids to kick in, so I just want to see if anyone thinks I should make my way to a doctor now, or if its just my allergies acting up more than usual.
Ordinarily its just a short of breath thing, not feeling like I just ran a mile and can't catch my breath. My chest hurts from trying to breathe.
Whoever heard of being allergic in the wintertime! According to weather.com, there's not even any pollen in the air!
So what do you guys think?
