Good morning , how have you been doing ?   I haven ’ t been able to take a deep breath lately , and I need to know why .   Have you had any type of bug lately ?   No , I ’ Ve been feeling fairly good most of the time . It just is hard to breathe .   Has anyone ever told you that you have allergies ?   No one has ever checked me for allergies .   Does this happen more when you are under stress ?   When the weather gets really cold , it gets worse .   I am going to refer you to a pulmonary specialist who can run tests on you for asthma .   Thank you for pursuing this . I appreciate your help .
