Constant allergy to cough and cold
I have a problem of allergic cough and cold throughout the whole year and it gets worse during the seasonal changes specifically when winter comes. I have problem of continuous sneezing and running nose. During winter it also causes wheezing in the chest at the time of breathing. Right now I'm taking Avamys spray and Romilast L 10 . The problem of sneezing and running nose have been solved so far but the wheezing is still there with cough. Please advise me how to overcome it. Thank you.

Asthma or nah?
I've been having sone trouble breathing. Its like theres a big stone that's stuck in ny system that cause my chest to ache when I'm inhaling. Lately, it happens often especially when I eat chocolates, when something or someone get on top of me, when walking with a heavy bag, when theres too much people around me, when I cry, sometimes it just happen to trigger without further notice. It is a more complicated stuff than Asthma??
