Thanks dr. i had been given an inhaler to clear my airways but still feel like i can't get a deep breath on my own?

Pulmonology: 26 year old gentleman with difficulty taking a deep breath. You should visit a physician who specializes in pulmonology for pulmonary function testing. If you become short of breath and are having trouble with fatigue with exercise get treated immediately/emergently. You need a full exam to check for medical causes of respiratory difficulty as well. Good luck.
