A member asked:

I have allergies but i also got a cough and it's hard to bread i drink cleratin and i want to know why the allergies affect my breathing?

Allergies: Allergies can cause cough via a post nsal drip - congestion itself can give a sensation of difficulty breathing - also can be associated with asthma - so if significant breathing difficulty you should have it checked out.
