Dr. needs to check: Shortness of breath is not normal unless it is the mild, temporary shortness of breath with sports activities (but even then, one must be sure she is not having more shortness of breath than her sports peers have). Possible reasons include asthma (with or without allergic symptoms), heart attack, heart arrhythmia, heart failure, fluid around the heart, fluid in the lungs, chestwall tightness, etc.

Mgt.: Please see acute care, if you are itchy, you can take Cetirizine, but the cause of your allergic reaction will need to be diagnosed. .
