I've been dealing with this tight feeling in my chest and rib pain whenever it's cold. A nurse mentioned it might be asthma or a bad cold allergy. They suggested ventolin tablets, but those just make me feel weak. What could be causing this and what should I consider doing about it?

View allI've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.
Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I've been using Budamate 400 for my whooping cough for about six days now, but my doctor never mentioned anything about gargling after using it. Lately, I'm experiencing a dry mouth and my throat feels kind of suffocated. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I should do about it?
it resolves on its own
