Hello Dr,
My husband often has shortness of breath after eating. He has been asthmatic for many years and he used salbutamol to relieve his pain. I strongly believe that homeopathy could help him because i had an experience with a French doctor who helped our son with his asthma when he was young. Due to his shortness of breath, he had troubles sleeping at night. Some nights he can sleep but others not at all. So he became depressed and he worried about just anything, I just hope we could find an homeopathy doctor near our area Santa Ana, 92704 CA to help him with this condition. He is actually 75 years old.
about 30 days ago i was exposed to chlorine gas its not constant except today cant get a full breath wheezing steam helps a bit

I hope you’re feeling better since this post that you incidentally made on my 52d birthday. 🎈

Hello Dr. Sharma,
I have asthma symptoms for 12 years after living in a moldy and dry place with lots of agriculture, then adding a cat to the apartment that had carpet and lots of dust and heat. Now 12 years later I have chest pain, and doctor wants to do a nuclear test for a blockage in an artery after I had an abnormal stress test EKG cardio. I currently take a corticoidsteroid inhaler about once a week, two puffs.
I have tried different homeopathy with different practitioners but have not found any remedy that worked.
Thanks,
Jasmin
