I'm having a tough time breathing, and it's been like this since last night. My throat also feels itchy, and I'm struggling to breathe properly. I've dealt with acidity and gas issues before, so I'm wondering if they might be related. Could you recommend something to help?

I'm having a tough time with allergic rhinitis and bronchitis and it's been going on for a while. Lately, I've noticed shallow breathing and that wheezing sound is a real concern. The cough is driving me crazy, it's been three weeks now. Could you tell me which specialist I should see for this?
