Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Recurrent breathlessness on walking or working can be seen in bronchial asthma and bronchitis. You are also having yearly cough. This suggests possibility of allergy more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray. 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out other pulmonary causes. PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma and bronchitis. PFT will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment is based on severity only. So consult pulmonologist and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
