Hi don’t worry if this is a seasonal issue it could be asthma, if this has come for the first time suddenly with no their symptoms rule out cardiac issues. Don’t panic video consult a physician immediately if you have a pulse oximeter at home check her saturation: oxygen levels at home. If oxygen levels are 94-100% it’s normal ; if below 94% immediately contact your nearest healthcare provider, hospital or clinic . They will investigate further with complete blood count, chest X-ray and ecg. She might need further testing based on these results. Keeping your mothers age in mind would advise you to immediately video consult any physician or go to a nearby hospital. If your mother is on inhalers let her take it thrice a day along with steam inhalation.

Need detailed history and evaluation

Has she been diagnosed with asthma ? Breathing difficulty could be due to a variety of reasons . Rule out any cardiac issue .
