I'm having some issues at night that have been really concerning me. I keep waking up in the middle of my sleep, feeling breathless and coughing a lot. It's like I can't breathe properly for about half an hour, but then everything goes back to normal, and I can sleep again. I've noticed there's this weird whistling sound coming from my nose when I'm breathing during that time. People have told me I snore really loudly, which gets interrupted by my coughing fits. I went to a general physician before and was on some tablets for a month which seemed to help, but now the problem is back. I'm wondering if I should see a chest specialist. What could be causing all this?

I've been dealing with asthma since I was 20, and my doctor has me using an asthma pump twice a day. I'm really wondering if using the pump and taking medicines can actually completely cure my asthma. Is there hope for getting rid of it entirely, or will I need to manage it this way long-term?

yes it can be cured
