I was wondering about the higher pollen count as well. Do the allergy medications make any difference, however small? Do you have any other allergy-like symptoms?

Have you seen a doctor for asthma? Are you getting oxygen when you breathe or is that at a low level when you fee like this?

I, too have about a million allergies. I have allergy induced asthma as well and take Alegra and Cingulair and they help a lot. I get that shortness of breath thing too...but my doctors figured out it was triggered by stress. Could that be something with you?

Do you have sypmtoms only at home? If so, its most likely the kitty and whatever else you're allergic to. If you feel the same way elsewhere, like work/school, its most likely not just the cat.
