I'm having trouble with my breathing and hear a hissing sound when I breathe, especially when I start running. I also feel a tightness in my chest, and I end up coughing a lot. Should I be worried about this, and is there something specific I should be doing or looking into?

I've been dealing with a lot of extra sputum all day for about six months now, and every now and then I find myself needing to take deep breaths. After exercising, I get this itchy feeling in my throat like something's stuck there. There's no fever, chest pain, coughing, or weight loss, but my nose is always congested and I find myself taking deep breaths throughout the day. It seems to calm down at night though. I'm wondering what's going on.

Ecg,x-ray chest pa view,sputum for AFB and microscopy and spirometry is advised to the patient.

I'm 21 and I've had asthma since I was 2. It's not super severe, but I do need to use my Foracort inhaler every day. I also like to work out at the gym. One time I tried whey protein and got hives from it. I'm wondering if taking amino acid supplements could negatively affect my asthma? Would love to know your thoughts.
