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?

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 struggling with a lot of phlegm in my throat every morning. I have asthma, so sometimes I get short of breath. I've been using nebulisation which helps, but it's not solving the phlegm issue. I've tried making myself vomit to clear my throat, but then I end up with an infection in my esophagus, and I feel like there's still something stuck in my throat after eating. It's making it really hard to eat properly. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?
take mucinac for 3 days;, do endoscopy to rule out other causes
