Cold induced asthma

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.”

Chest pain following a months long cough

I went for a swim in a public pool one day.  A week later, I got a cough. The worst cough of my life. I would cough 24×7 and very intensely. It transmitted to everyone in my family. I had to drink 10 to 15 bottles of cough syrup. After coughing for a month, I coughed up trace amounts of blood one day. Went to a pulmonologist and he did a CT scan.  Doctor said it wasn't TB or Pneumonia but upper respiratory tract infection and prescribed  medicine which were antibiotics, blood clotting agents etc, it took me another 1.5  months to get rid of the cough. All in all cough stayed for like 2 months. But it's been 5 months or so since the cough started and I still feel chest pain. And not just chest pain, it feels as if the pain is coming from inside the lungs. I don't have any other symptoms. Sometimes when I try to breathe deep it hurts, sometimes my chest hurts upon pressing. And now there is no cough or blood. What's wrong? Costochondritis or Pleurisy? Do I get chest x-ray or Sputum test?

Breathing Problem

I have been having breathing problems almost every day since 2023. Sometimes my chest feels tight and I feel like I can’t get enough air. My heart beats fast when this happens. It becomes worse in cold weather or when I cry or get anxious, but it can also happen without any clear reason. I don’t usually have wheezing, but I feel a lump in my throat sometimes and drinking water can make it worse. Calming down helps a bit. I also get coughing at night sometimes. There is no big mucus, no frequent allergies, and no family history of asthma that I know of. This breathing issue sometimes forces me to stop activities. I have never been checked by a doctor for it before.
