I cough and wheeze from time to time. Also, my chest feels like someones squeezing it tightly and then I have difficulty in breathing. When it happens at night, my friends want to bring me to the hospital but I just wait till it wears off. Is there any solution? It really bothers me because I cant breath well.Thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of recurrent asthma attack is more likely. Best way to prevent recurrent asthma attack is control of asthma. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will need long acting inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of montelukast and fexofenadine is also beneficial. Once you start these Chat Doctor.  Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
