I have always had different respiratory
issues from bronchitis to pnemonia when I
was a child. Now I am 22, and I have
found out that I am allergic to
animals...I will get a red rash all up and
down my arm, where ever I was holding the
animal at the time and sneeze like crazy.
There have been a few instances where I
was around an animal when they were being
bathed and I started to wheeze, loudly,
and my chest got tight...One time I had to
go to the hopsital and thats when I
learned that I have a severe allergy to
them. I have an inhaler that helps with
that. I use it only when I need it and
thats only when im around animals..
Recently, this summer I have been sick and
ive had bronchitis, I have heard a
rustling sound in my chest and the Dr.
Said my lungs were clear but that my chest
sounded raspy when I breathed...Recently,
at night I would breathe and I would hear
a shallow type of wheeze, it didnt sound
like the normal type of wheezing, but it
wasnt a normal breathe either, so I took
my inhaler and it was fine....I have asked
my Dr. Before if I have asthma and he
says I dont. But, there are times at
night when I get what I have described
above, this doesnt happen all the
time...But it does happen on occasion..I
think this could be related to my air
conditioner that I have up stairs...I keep
it on and it does get cool up there, could
the cold air be affecting this wierd type
of wheezeing that im hearing?

Its probably allergies.. The ac is
blowing in air from outdoors.. Have you
asked your dr if your allergic to pollen.
Im allergic to animals too, and im also
allergic to just about everything outside
lol! But I also have asthma.. Lol. Also
it could just be something thats inside
the ac thats making your allergies act up.

Its probably allergies.. Most allergens
are food either in the environment or in
food. Environmental allergens include
animal dander, dust, feathers, insect
venom, certain cosmetics and household
products. Rhus Toxicodendron is a
homeopathic remedy to alleviate skin
conditions associated with itching and
swelling such as allergic rashes -
