I'm trying to figure out if I might have asthma because ever since I had COVID back in January, I've been experiencing these weird episodes. For about 10 minutes at a time, I feel this deep wheezing vibration in my right lung when I breathe deeply. Its especially noticeable in the mornings, and sometimes its even audible, kind of like snoring. I can feel it throughout my right chest, both front and back. These episodes started about five months ago and while they were irregular at first, they're happening more often now. Sometimes, coughing can start or stop these episodes, but it usually stops them. Ive got POTS and no known lung issues, although I've had pneumonia a few times as a kid and tend to catch colds and coughs easily. Does this sound like asthma or something else I should be worried about?

View allI've been dealing with a dry cough for the past two months, and no matter how many times I see doctors or try different medicines, it just doesn't get better. For a while, I might feel some relief, but then things go back to how they were. It's really starting to worry and scare me. I've even had an X-ray and blood tests done, and both came back normal, but there's always a little mucus. I just can't figure out what's happening. Can you please offer some guidance and help me find a way to get better?
That could be Allergic Bronchitis, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, consume warm foods and maintain healthy lifestyle

I'm really worried because I've been having trouble breathing for the past three years. It seems like every time I take my medication, it gets better for a little while, but then I start having difficulty again after a few days. I've also tried using inhalers, but they don't seem to be helping. What should I do?

I'm having trouble with shortness of breath at night, especially around bedtime, and I often start sneezing. I'm using a Foracort inhaler and Montair to manage it, but they only help temporarily. I'm really looking for a permanent solution. Do you have any advice on what I can do?
That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management
