Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Get yourself evaluated with an ECG and a chest x-ray. If both are normal then it could be HERD or asthma. Also consult pulmonologist and get a clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of asthma is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids. Hope your question was answered.
