I don't think it is, one type speeds up your heartrate, shortness of breath means a number of things, if you are short of breath, do you have Asthma? some peoople use those puffer things you breathe in usually from the doc, but i think some are sold OTC, watch what you are using, you could do more harm than good, ask you doc, or go to a free clinic
NO! If you have shortness of breath, taking Benadryl (a drug with sedative and tranquilizer-like effects) could cause fatal respiratory depression. You should ask your doctor to be tested for Asthma, COPD, etc.. If you have one of these diseases, you should be put on a Controller medication (ie Advair) and a emergency medicine (ie Albuterol).
