I'm experiencing a runny nose and occasionally a cough since yesterday, and now there's this wheezing sound coming from my chest. Could this be asthma? Should I consider using an inhaler, even though I'm not having trouble breathing?

View allI'm having trouble with shortness of breath at night and it's been really bothering me. I visited a pulmonologist who had me do tests like ECG, CBP, PFT, and a chest X-ray, but everything came back normal. They prescribed Montair FX, Nexito Plus, and esomeprazole for a month, which made me feel better. But now, two months later, the symptoms have come back. My doctor said to keep taking Montair FX every night. What should I do? It's frustrating and I'm worried about what's happening.

I'm feeling this deep and incomplete breathing at random times during the day, and then I get shortness of breath when exercising. A few months back, I was even coughing up blood for about 34 days, and had something similar happen a year ago. On top of that, I'm having these gastro issues like thick and sticky mucus in my stool every 10 to 20 days. I've lost a bunch of weight, dropping to 79 kg over the past 3 years, and I feel like my growth has stopped. Do you have any idea what's going on with me?
