I've been dealing with a running nose and a blocked left nostril for the past three days, making it hard to breathe comfortably. The cough started two days ago, and I'm coughing up white phlegm with some severe wheezing. The left side of my chest hurts when I touch it. I've had asthma for about 12 years and usually rely on homeopathy, but this is the first time in two years it's gotten this bad. What would you recommend for quick relief?

I've been experiencing this slight breathlessness for the past few days, like I constantly need to take deep breaths every few seconds. Occasionally, there's also a mild pain in my chest. I saw a local doctor who thinks it might be Air Hunger, maybe from exertion or anxiety, and he suggested I try some energy boosters. I'm a little worried it might be something more serious. Should I be more concerned or is this something not too serious?
do ECG AND CHEST X RAY to rule out serious issues
