Can allergies cause shortness of breath that comes and goes? how does one know that the sob is because of allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: It's a diagnosis of exclusion - there's no precise single test. You need to be evaluated for all the usual causes of shortness of breath before a doctor can say it's due to allergies.
