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?

Can you tell me if it's okay to use normal saline instead of distilled water in an oxygen concentrator? Or maybe there's something else I could use as a substitute for distilled water? I'm just a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.
