I'm experiencing episodes where I have trouble breathing and feel a shortness of breath. Could this mean I have allergic asthma?

I'm allergic to different smells like perfumes and soaps, and whenever I'm around them, I start sneezing, get a runny nose, and my eyes get really watery. It's been happening a lot more lately. On some dates, my Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) numbers look like this: February was 1350, March went down to 980, April was 800, August dropped to 705, but then in September, it shot up to 1035. I've been on Hetrazan 100mg tablets during March, April, May, and August, but even with the medication, my AEC went up again in September. Any idea why this is happening or how I can better manage it?

I'm really concerned about this sneezing issue I've been dealing with for the last 34 months. It's not an everyday thing, but when it hits, I can sneeze anywhere between 50 to 70 times in a day. It also causes a runny nose, and my eyes get affected as well. Could you offer some guidance on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?

likely dust allergy ,avoid exposure to dust

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She started having breathing problems and a heavy chest about 34 months ago, and even though she took medication for eosinophilia, she didnt get much relief. The eosinophil count seems under control now, but her IgE levels are still really high. The doctor had her on a nasal spray and some other meds for 20 days, then switched them up a bit. Still, the high IgE level worries me. We've just gotten her PFT and RAST tests done. Im curious about what else we should be looking into or considering for her treatment. Could this be part of something more serious, and is there anything else we should ask the doctor to test for?
