I'm having trouble breathing through my nose and it feels like I'm not getting enough air, so I have to breathe through my mouth instead. Its especially tough when I'm sleeping, and now my chest is starting to hurt since Im always using my mouth to breathe. This reminds me of when I was young; I used to jump rope a lot, like 2000 times, and a doctor once said that caused a breathing issue for me back then. I feel like I'm going through the same thing again. What do you think might be the issue this time?

I'm 33 years old and really struggling with asthma and some gastro issues. Plus, I'm quite overweight at 91 kg, and I think dropping about 20 kg might help with the asthma. Do you have any advice or can you recommend any medicine or tablets that would be suitable for me?
