I am a HR professional with 7+ years of experience and as I was suffering from allergic brochites and skin aller gy I have taken a break to get treated, since now I am look out for job again and as I have taken 1.6 yrs break I usually get response from job consultants that this gap is a major concern for companies to recruit me.
Please do advise me as to how I have to get a job now if everyone considers this gap as a major issue.

Hello Madhavbr14,
I don't think you need to worry at all.
You seem to be an old member of CiteHR & I am sure you would have seen many Postings/threads from Lady HR professionals who took breaks of years [for kids' sake] & still managed to rejoin jobs.
The only difference between you & them is the REASON for the gap.
As long as you are able to AUTHENTICATE THE GAP [thru Medical Certificates], it shouldn't be a problem. The only aspect COULD be this: it could take a bit more time for you to get a job than it would for others who currently working.
Pl ensure you mention 'Medical Reasons' for the gap in your resume--pl DON'T leave this gap unsaid/unexplained--the Recruiter will then make his/her own assumptions, which may not be to your advantage. You can explain the complete reason(s) during the Interviews. Hope you get the point.
All the Best,
