Question 1

I am a 29 year old male suffering from allergic rhinitis and asthma. Around three months ago, I developed severe breathlessness and underwent a chest X ray, blood test, and PFT test. The chest X ray was normal. My FEV1/FVC ratio was 81 percent, and my FEV1 was 71 percent. My blood report was also normal except for an elevated eosinophil count of 440. For the past 2.5 months, I have been using Seroflo 250/25 (4 puffs daily) and Rhine M nasal spray regularly. While I am no longer experiencing severe breathlessness, I still have some breathing discomfort, especially when lifting weights as low as 10 kg or when climbing stairs quickly. I would like to know whether I need a stronger medication or if there is an alternative treatment that might be more effective.

Question 2

I recently did a complete health check up and as per my blood report, all tests are within the normal range except for eosinophil count, which is 11.6. Please advise if this is normal or if it requires any further tests or medication? Thanks, Vidya.

Question 3

My eosinophils and TGL/HDL ratio are high in my blood test report. Kindly explain how much risk I am in and how to rectify the same? My test report has been attached.

My blood report shows that I have eosinophilia, slightly higher than normal. I also have a cough (not dry), mainly in the morning and at night, especially in cold temperatures. What is the solution for this? Is it curable? Which doctor should I consult? Could there be any other underlying issue?

Mild eosinophilia with allergic cough points to allergic bronchitis or asthma. It is curable with inhalers and antihistamines. Avoid cold triggers. Pulmonologist consult advised.
