I'm dealing with asthma and I'm worried because whenever I start walking, this pressure begins to build up in my throat, which makes me stop. Along with that, there's this chest tightness and throat pressure that starts to increase the more I walk. Could this be related to asthma, even though I don't have a history of smoking or other illnesses like diabetes or hypertension? I've attached the documents I'm using my inhaler as needed, which is a Firacot 200, but I'm not sure what else I should do to stop these symptoms. Any advice?

View allI've been waking up in the middle of the night, gasping for air with my heart racing like crazy. It's been happening often, like 3 or 4 times a night, but never during the day. I quit smoking about 5 days ago. I'm a 25-year-old female. Is this normal when you stop smoking, or could it be something else? What should I do?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a few days now, and nothing seems to be helping. We've tried both grillinctus and coffdryl, and even a ginger molasses mix, but her cough isn't getting any better. Do you have any advice or recommendations on what might help her get some relief?
