Dec 2025–May 2026: Started with a long-lasting dry cough. All tests were completely normal: Chest X-ray, PFT (breathing test), FeNO (airway swelling test), and IgE (allergy blood test).
June 5, 2026: Due to the ongoing cough and normal tests, the doctor gave a provisional diagnosis of Cough Variant Asthma and prescribed a Foracort 400 rotahaler twice daily.
After June 5: Developed new, severe breathlessness and air hunger. This included a scary episode of sudden breathing struggle while sitting in my living room directly under the AC vent with the front door open.
• Inhaler Response: Mixed. Sometimes Foracort significantly helps open my chest; other times it goes on its own
• My Query: I am seeking a second opinion to confirm if this provisional diagnosis is correct, why my breathlessness started after June 5, and why the inhaler works only sometimes magically n sometimes slowly.
U mean to say that inhaler is working
It is working magically better some times and some times no
Ur latest symptom is after direct exposure to AC
All points to allergy related
Is there any fever
Some times flu triggers this symptoms
Health Tips
Check ur inhaler technic
U can try a spacer
Suggest doing second pft if initial one is more than 3 months back
