I'm just wondering about something I've been taking montek lc for a little over two months, and I've recently stopped for the past three days. Now I'm experiencing some mild suffocation and itching all over my body. Do you think there's a natural remedy for this, or is it something that I'll need to keep using for the rest of my life? I haven't had any asthma or lung issues before, so I'm kind of puzzled.
