I live in the Arizona desert. I do have severe allergies to dust. Unfortunately I can't move right now because I need to find a job someplace else first. Well anyway, it has been breezy here lately. The farmers have also been burning the fields. Now for the past week or so I have noticed that my chest hurts anytime I walk outside. Yesterday, there was a huge fire in the fields and my chest started hurting so bad that I thought I was going to pass out. My chest was also feeling really tight yesterday. I feel out of breath anytime I walk outside and they are burning the fields. I don't know if this is something I need to talk with a doctor about or not. I keep taking cough medicine and hope that will help but it hasn't worked yet. I am just so frustrated with going to the doctor because I have been battling allergies ever since I moved here and nothing they give me works.

As a lifelong Az resident I hear ya......lots of crap blowing around. What about an inhaler to clear up your chest? If your doctor isn't giving you something that is helping i'd get a new doctor......get a second opinion at least. They should have ruled out any Rheumatic disorders.....try sleeping with a vick's mister in the meantime
sounds like you may have alittle reactive airway disease going on. You should see your doctor and get an inhaler. They will make a huge difference. The winds and allergies seems particulary bad in AZ and NM this year. I live in NM and this was the first year I had allergies, my doctor said I has asthma for the first time at age 42 so I have to make sure I have an inhaler around. You really need to get it checked since it can progress into something really serious really fast.
Try a neti pot. When I lived in Vegas it really helped me.
