I've been checking my symptoms online, and it pointed to cough variant asthma. All the symptoms seem to match, and I already know I have asthma since I use an inhaler. It's the Ventolin Albuterol one, but I feel like I'm using it too much because I constantly need to breathe better. Do you think this issue will eventually go away, or should I think about going to the hospital?

View allI've been noticing some blood-colored mucus once in a while over the past few weeks, and for the past two months, it's been feeling like my breathing is sometimes obstructed. I just got a body check and everything came back normal, including the blood test, but they didnt explain why I'm seeing the blood-colored mucus. Is this something I should be worried about, like could it be a sign of lung cancer?

How can I check my lungs at home?
At home, you may check your lungs functioning with an instrument named "Peak Flow meter". It is a small hand held device, when you blow air into it, it calculates the lung capacity and expansion. Spirometer is another instrument which helps in similar way in lung assessment and additionally it also has therapeutic usage. You may check oxygenation level by "Pulse Oximeter" which gives indirect clue on lung damage but keep in mind there are other medical conditions which may affect pulse oximeter readings.
