Dyspnea Causes & Treatments

Medications

Since dyspnea is caused by many underlying causes and medical conditions, treating these health issues can be helpful in alleviating the symptoms. Your doctor or healthcare provider might prescribe some medications or drugs such as an inhaler to deal with asthma, pulmonary embolism, obesity, or allergies. The exact option will depend on your underlying causes. Some anxiety drugs would be used to treat shortness of breath caused by depression or similar mental problems. COPD and asthma could be treated with inhalers, while antihistamines are suitable for allergies. [9]
