Breathing problems

2018-03-02 02:28:03
I've been having really bad breathing issues. I will have random outbursts of coughing and wheezing for air. My throat will feel swollen and my chest will hurt really bad. It happens on a daily basis. It stops me from doing my physical activities and I wake up a lot from it and normally can't sleep. Could this be asthma?

Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
