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?

I'm really worried because I had a Covid test on June 1st, and I've been having this dry cough ever since. It's been a few days now without a fever, but the cough just won't go away. I tried taking Macbery XT cough syrup, but it hasnt helped at all. Also, sometimes I feel like there's some congestion when I breathe. What should I do about this?

I'm really concerned about this cold and cough that keeps coming back, especially with breathing problems at night and in the early morning for the past three weeks. I saw a general physician and the medicine worked for a week, but the breathing issue starts up again as soon as I stop taking it. What should I do about this?

It sounds like you may have asthma or an allergic airway condition triggered by cold or night-time air. I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a proper evaluation, including spirometry. Continuing appropriate long-term treatment, like inhalers, may help prevent recurrence.
