Chest & Breathing Problems

I’ve had asthma since childhood. When I was young, it was quite mild — mostly cold-related, maybe two to four episodes a year, and otherwise I was fine. After my early twenties, it became more seasonal. I’m usually completely fine from around April to October and don’t need any inhaler at all during that time. My problems mainly start in winter. Over the years, I ended up relying mostly on Asthalin. I began using it at the first sign of wheezing or tightness, and when things worsened, I occasionally took short courses of oral steroids. I didn’t use a regular controller consistently. I’m also physically inactive now and feel my stamina is low, and I’m not sure how much of that is asthma versus general fitness. I’m not sure whether my frequent Asthalin use became a physical dependence or more of a habit — I’d like your opinion. This winter, symptoms felt more persistent than before, so I want guidance on proper long-term management.”

Cold/cough since 5 months, with shortness of breath, wheezing sound seen some general physicians they gave turbohaler , but coughing still not gone yet. It started on 21st july 2005 with ulcer/oral stomatitis in my mouth and tounge was all red and at that time i came to hospital, but medicine didnt cure then i went to one GP and she said its oral stomatitis and cold , her medicine worked , she gave 1000mg antibiotics and cured the inflammation in mouth tounge, but after that coughing started since then and its ongoing till now. Seen few General physicians , they did X ray but it came normal and they said its bronchitis and will take time for phelm to come out and inflammation in the lungs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been seeing blood in my phlegm since last three days, all of it in the morning. I have been coughing a lot since more than a week and I have a history of smoking. The blood in Phlegm is only in the morning. My parents don't know about the smoking thing so I can't tell them yet. I had also been in Delhi for 10 days. Before that never had it happened. What to do in this situation I am very scared. I'm blowing my nose and all no blood in that. Just in the morning
