I'm dealing with allergic bronchitis and allergic rhinitis for a while now, and I'm taking Ab Phylline SR 200 and Symbicort. I just got my blood test results back, and my ESR is at 24, which seems a bit high, and my lymphocytes are at 43.8, above the usual limit. Is this something I should be concerned about in relation to my allergy issues? Could these levels be contributing to my symptoms?

I'm 27, weigh 72kg, and have a bit of a belly. Could this be why I'm having trouble breathing, even when I'm just sitting? It's definitely different from how I felt before I had the belly.
Yes, excess belly fat can sometimes put pressure on your diaphragm, which may lead to breathing difficulties, even while sitting. It can restrict lung expansion and make breathing feel more labored.
