Breathing difficulties

2021-05-20 15:26:59
I am having mild cold since 10 days. I feel a little breathlessness at night or sleeping position for some time and gets better later in the night. I am asthmatic since 10 yrs. Should I consider a covid test? No other symptoms. Very mild cold. I have been taking basic home care. Please suggest.

Is it a new onset breathlessness or are you having this symptom for quite some time ? What are the medications you are taking for asthma ? Have you experienced any other symptom in this last 10 days or came in contact with a COVID positive patient ? If yes I would suggest to get yourself tested after taking proper consultation.
